For the second year, an International Orchid Show and Sale will transform the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University into a spectacular world of orchids—just in time for spring.
See thousands of beautiful, sometimes bizarre, often fragrant, and always interesting orchids from around the globe. These orchids will be judged and awarded prizes from the American Orchid Society. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to purchase flowers directly from vendors from as far away as Ecuador, Brazil and Japan. Novices and experts alike will learn valuable botanical information during talks and tours. The International Orchid Show, the largest orchid show outside California and Florida, is presented in collaboration with the Southeastern Pennsylvania Orchid Society. Free with museum admission. From 5–8 p.m. on Friday, April 12 only, pay a reduced museum admission fee of $10 to experience the Orchid Show and Sale. For more information, visit ansp.org/orchidshow or call 215-299-1167. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 11, 12 and 13, 2014
Hours: Friday noon–8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.–5 p.m.
