Cuba in Flower (Orchids at the NYBG)
Got a round with a bunch of lascivious faces at the annual orchid show at the New York Botanical Gardens – this year’s theme of Cuba in Flower. The show was astounding not only in subject matter, but also in the architecture and layout. Rarely do you get to walk into a greenhouse with walls [...]
