North America has over 200 orchids—but over half are threatened or endangered somewhere they once thrived. Scientists with our North American Orchid Conservation Center work to save endangered species like ghost orchids, which in the U.S. grow only in Florida. #FutureOfOrchids
Be sure to check out the #FutureOfOrchids exhibit from Smithsonian Gardens, live through April 28! It contains ~350 live orchids and sculptures by Baltimore-based artist Phaan Howng. Learn more & explore the virtual exhibit at
