NYBG: The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism

 No better way to usher in the spring season than a visit to the magical New York Botanical Garden. Located in  the Bronx, the sprawling lawns are the perfect place to spend an afternoon whether you're escaping the concrete jungle or coming from suburbia for the inspiring, manicured property. Each year, the Garden features an exhibition dedicated to the Orchid flower. This year's show is called Mexican Modernism. You wind through the fabulous green houses, losing yourself amongst the extensive collection of different orchids, juxtaposed with Mexican plants, such as the different species of Agave plants, as well as brightly colored walls - transporting guests to Mexico. The Orchid Show runs though April 27, 2025.
