THE ORCHID SHOW: FLORALS IN FASHION

February 17–April 21, 2024

Strike a pose! The Orchid Show brings the catwalk to the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory in a fashion-inspired celebration of all things orchids—and we want YOU at the center of the sartorial experience. Catch the bold new designs of New York’s rising stars of the stitch with work by Collina Strada by Hillary Taymour, Dauphinette by Olivia Cheng, and FLWR PSTL by Kristen Alpaugh, fashionistas sure to create dramatic, picture-perfect floral displays at the Garden that always capture the orchid’s good side. This is your chance to “walk the runway” and show off your own personal flair, your love for orchids, and your fashion-forward connections to the natural world. Because florals are always en vogue at NYBG.

Miscellaneous plants and flowers. We only went to the greenhouse on members day. I am still recuperating from a month long cold followed by a short bout of Covid.

I didn’t think that this year’s orchid show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx was one of their best.

Tobay Beach

After Point Lookout we took a drive along Jones Beach ands d stopped at Tobay.

We had fun watching the sanderlings feeding on the shoreline (littoral zone). I love the last photo.
