Escape the winter cold and step into a floral oasis in the Kogod Courtyard with Orchids: Amazing Adaptations. A joint collaboration of Smithsonian Gardens, the United States Botanic Garden, American Art Museum, and the Portrait Gallery, the installation fills the glass-roofed space with hundreds of orchids of stunning variety and showcases how orchids have adapted to their many different environments—on every single continent except Antarctica. Join a Smithsonian Gardens staff member for a private view of the lush blooms before museum opening hours.
The orchid display is part of Habitat, the first in a year-long series that connects all of Smithsonian Gardens’ spaces with a single exhibition theme.
This tour is 1.5 hours in length, limited to 25 participants, and photo ID may be required.
