Orchids at Kew
Kew has the oldest known collection of living orchids and visitors
to Kew Gardens can expect year round displays in two specialised
orchid zones in the Princess of Wales
Conservatory.
Wild areas of both Kew Gardens, and more particularly
Wakehurst Place, are home to some significant populations of wild
native orchids.
Orchids also feature prominently in botanical art, and in 2003
Kew staged an exhibition of the John Day Scrapbooks. This
exhibition can still be seen online.
