It’s almost spring in Atlanta, and that means it’s time for the Atlanta Botanical Garden’s annual celebration of its signature plant collection: the orchids!
Orchid Daze: Beauty and Light
Every year, the Garden celebrates the vibrant colors of their orchid collection with an incredible art exhibition. And this year is no different!
Orchid Daze: Beauty and Light is currently open to the public at the Fuqua Orchid Center from now until April 13th, and features a dazzling exhibition, which makes use of the abundant natural light in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center.
What can guests expect at Orchid Daze?
When you step into the exhibit at Orchid Daze, you can be ready to be absolutely wowed with the colors and reflections of hundreds of beautiful orchids.
The Atlanta Botanical Garden says,
In the east-facing Conservatory Lobby, vertical curtains of crystals capture soft morning light reflected through through alternating layers of jewel-toned miniature orchids. A spiral galaxy of crystals hovers in the space above the corridor linking the Conservatory and Orchid Center, where it atrium is bursting with orchids mounted large silver spheres. A crystalline water feature forms the focal point in the formal bed of the Orchid Display House directly behind the Reflection Pond, where visitors can linger and sit among the orchids on display inside the cedar pergola.
These beautiful reflective art works complement each of the three strikingly different orchid landscapes in the Fuqua Conservatory Lobby, Orchid Center Atrium and Orchid Center Tropical Display House beautifully.
