The New York Botanical Garden held its annual Orchid Dinner at The Mandarin Oriental Hotel recently. The event gathered interior designers and floral design talent that created glorious tablesettings featuring the flora. With the delicate blooms of a wide variety of orchids large and small, designers created elaborate centerpieces. Party attendees could buy orchids to take home, and the event was a triumph for the Garden, raising $600,000. This year's Orchid Show opens March 5th, with a Broadway show theme. Over 300 orchid varieties will play a starring role.
Go and prepare to be amazed.

My breath was taken away, first because I am a serious orchid addict..always have a few in my home and second because these pictures are just AMAZING!
OMG - the tables are spectacular!! One more beautiful than the next!! And the flowers!! I'm glad to hear the evening was so successful.
Those orchid designs are unbelievably beautiful! Orchids are often the subject of botanical paintings because they are so striking so it is no wonder they are used in those amazing table decors. I love them. Thanks for bringing them to us.
Thank you for showing all of us these lovely tables!
Spectacular!
Orchids are my flower of choice, I prefer to have them always in my studio. These arrangements absolutely blew me away...I would love to attend a show one day! I admire your fabulous lifestyle, thanks for the photos.
