OMG! Orchids
(Odd, Magical and Gorgeous)
Show Extended to Labor Day 2012!

HOT NEWS!  The OMG! Orchids show has been extended through Labor Day 2012! The Hilbert Conservatory is also a great place to come and relax as you take in the lush, tropical environment!

Experience some the most rare and beautiful specimens of one of the world’s most fascinating flowers – orchids! On display in the Hilbert Conservatory, this most prolific group of flowers are colorful, varied and come in every conceivable shape and size.  Orchids have fascinated us for centuries.  And OMG?  That means these orchids are odd, magical and just plain gorgeous! 

These fabulous flowers are displayed in a beautiful setting that includes a waterfall, ponds, a running stream, and other tropical delights.  There are interactive kids' activities as well, and as you can see from the photo (left), young and old flower fans can get into these gorgeous plants!  Thanks to Anna Smith for sending in the photo of her son having fun at the Zoo.

The Conservatory shows are supported through an endowment funded by the Richard M. Fairbanks Foundation Inc.  The Indianapolis Zoo Art and Nature Programming is supported by the Arts Council of Indianapolis and the City of Indianapolis.
