The orchid, which comes from the largest family of flowering plants and blooms several times a year, holds a particular allure for amateur and professional botanists alike. At this floral exposition, over 50 horticulturists present approximately 150,000 different beauties in a dizzying array of colors and sizes, from the robust spotted Ansellia to newly cultivated hybrids. With guided tours and demonstrations shedding light on the mysterious flower, don't be surprised if you find yourself bringing home a potted friend.
