The Missouri Botanical Garden maintains one of the nation’s largest and finest orchid collections, including over 8,100 orchid plants in hundreds of varieties.
Some of the Garden's orchids date back to the early 19th century, when they were gifted to founder Henry Shaw. Others are familiar favorites, leaving the greenhouse just once a year to be publicly viewed at the annual Orchid Show.
This year's orchid show is inspired by a French "Butterfly's Garden."
