Or that the 8,000 specimens in our Smithsonian Orchid Collection include species from Africa, Asia, and Australia as well as from the Americas? Whether or not you can attend our 18th Annual Orchid Exhibition (this year showcasing Orchids of Latin America, through April 21, 2013), the décor, jewelry and gifts offered here let you enjoy these exotic beauties and their fragrance in your home.
