Orchids meet Jackson Pollock in "The Modern Art of Orchids," a new
exhibit featuring hundreds of nature's living masterpieces, orchids,
on view starting this Friday, November 4, 2005 at San Francisco's
Conservatory of Flowers. With a stylish and contemporary flair,"The
Modern Art of Orchids" will immerse you in the abstract beauty of
the world's most diverse group of flowering plants.

This isn't your aunt's annual orchid society display. Glowing twelve-
foot-high images of colorful and rare flowers greet you as you enter
the all-white interior and make your way through this gallery of
blooms. Alluring arrangements of metallic bamboo hold living orchid
specimens in glass test tubes. Contemporary sculptural displays
overflow with plants, and the exhibit's Orchid Lounge is the perfect
place to marvel at the riot of colorful blooms and innovative floral
displays around you.
