Looking for some Springtime inspiration while your own garden is still slumbering? You should really check out the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. This special show takes place in the Haupt Conservatory at the Garden and features thousands of beautiful orchids from around the world on display. As you walk, soft classical music is playing to enhance the mood. The conservatory is warm and humid and simulates a tropical garden complete with water features and palm trees. It is quite the retreat from the cool early spring temperatures outside.

Haupt Conservatory
There are guides to answer your questions, or you can self tour and read the many signs along the route. It is quite a beautiful show. In the evening there is a separate show in the conservatory which features special lighting and you can stroll the through the show with a cocktail in hand and music is creating a romantic mood. Your ticket to the evening show includes a signature cocktail, The Ginger Vanilla Fusion.
