The Orchid Show 2025: Mexican Modernism Blooms at NYBG

The New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) presents the 22nd edition of its renowned Orchid Show, Mexican Modernism, running from February 15 to April 27, 2025. This year’s exhibit celebrates the vivid and bold architectural designs of Luis Barragán (1902–1988), a key figure in Mexican modernist architecture. Visitors can explore thousands of orchids arranged in immersive settings inspired by Barragán’s signature multicolored walls, fountains, and organic textures.
