Orchid collectors are famously passionate about their favorite flowering plants -- there've been numerous books, movies and TV shows with plots derived from their antics. Now, you can discover the history of this fascinating hobby amidst thousands of the gorgeous objects of their desire in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory at The New York Botanical Garden. You'll learn about the 19th-century adventurers suffering from "orchidelirium," who traversed the globe's danger-filled jungles in search of the latest specimen, as well as the NYBG's attempts to rescue orchids that've been illegally collected and seized at international borders. But you'll also get to escape the city and marvel at the beauty and vast variety of these natural wonders. Your All-Garden Pass also includes admission to the Everett Children's Adventure Garden, Rock Garden, tram tour, garden grounds, and all exhibitions and public programs on the day of your visit.
