Be seduced by hundreds of orchids

Why are orchids so alluring? Is it their endless color combinations? Their heady scents? Their sensuous shapes?

Orchid Mania is Cleveland Botanical Garden's annual ode to nature's most exotic plant. Escape winter and surround yourself with hundreds of colorful, blooming orchids. There's also no better place to bring your Valentine.

Throughout time, orchids have seduced people with their unrivaled beauty and intoxicating fragrances. Orchid collectors have searched to unlock the secrets of orchids in the remotest forest regions of the earth. Come see "The Seductive Orchid" presented in a variety of beautiful and mesmerizing ways.
