It’s that time of year again for the Atlanta Botanical Garden to introduce their Orchid Daze: Lasting Impressions exhibit. The Fuqua Conservatory & Orchid Center is transformed into a different landscape with the inspiration coming from three artists; Claude Monet, Paul Gauguin and Vincent Van Gogh. Orchids of all colors, shapes and sizes are on display at the garden which houses around 2,000 different species and over 10,000 individual plants. The flowers are dispersed within the center and intermingled with different displays showcasing the styles of the three artists. If you haven’t been before I would definitely recommend it. In case you’re interested in last year’s display you can Click Here. But why all of the fuss? An easy answer is that Spring is almost here!
