Orchid Daze at Atlanta
Botanical Garden

Orchid Daze, the Garden’s annual celebration of its signature plant collection, blooms through April 13 with a dazzling exhibition making use of the abundant natural light in the Fuqua Conservatory and Orchid Center.

The works complement three strikingly different orchid landscapes in the Fuqua Conservatory Lobby, Orchid Center Atrium and Orchid Center Tropical Display House.

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.
