SUMMARY:Exhibit Open | Growing Obsession: The Enchanting Story of Orchids in the Everglades
DESCRIPTION:Exhibit Dates: February 24\, 2026 – June 20\, 2026\nThe Sunshine State is home to over one hundred different species of orchids. More than half of these are found is South Florida\, with many of the rarest and most obscure specimens found only deep in the wild landscape of the Everglades. \nThis exhibit explores the exotic beauty of these often otherworldly florae as well as their role in some of the more significant and occasionally notorious chapters of our region’s history. The passion these unique plants inspire—sometimes bordering on mania—has been compared to the “gold fever” experienced by treasure hunters. Botanical researchers and horticultural enthusiasts from around the world make obligatory pilgrimages to the nearby Fakahatchee Strand Preserve State Park—known as the Orchid Capital of North America due to its rich concentration of almost fifty different flowering plants in the Orchidaceae family\, including the ever-elusive Ghost Orchid. \nCombining breathtaking imagery\, historical accounts\, and the engaging stories of local personalities inextricably linked to these blossoming beauties and the madness they occasionally inspire\, Growing Obsession gives each visitor a glimpse of the haunting beauty and elemental magic that can sometimes be found in the Everglades and its extraordinary flora.
