The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism

Our annual celebration of all things orchid carries you to the vibrant setting of Mexico City for The Orchid Show: Mexican Modernism. Set off on a journey where the fusion of tradition and contemporary artistry takes center stage amid awe-inspiring displays of orchids, and wander through lush landscapes brought into vivid relief with thousands of flowers that showcase Mexico’s diverse ecosystems and rich cultures. Among bright arrangements of orchids in settings inspired by the bold, multicolored designs of Mexican modernist architect Luis Barragán, come visit CDMX—without ever leaving the Bronx.

Whether you’re a seasoned orchid fanatic or an NYBG newcomer, this monumental exhibition promises a feast for the senses as we celebrate Mexico’s rich botanical history. Join us on select Saturday evenings for Orchid Nights, picture-perfect nights out for the 21+ crowd featuring music and dancing, cash bars, and food for purchase, bringing the nightlife of Mexico City to the Garden.
