The “Color Me Orchid” exhibit will be an expansive display of orchids in the IMA’s Madeline F. Elder Greenhouse. It opens Feb. 19 and ends March 13 and is included with IMA admission. IMA horticulture experts will share advice on orchid care while the exhibit is open.
For more than 40 years, orchids have been a staple in the greenhouse. The orchid was the favorite flower of Madeline F. Elder, who rallied volunteers and support to save the greenhouse from demolition in 1972.
The IMA will offer workshops on mounting and repotting orchids on Feb. 27 and March 5. Workshops are $35 and $60 for the public, with discounts for IMA members.•
