Orchid Tree

The Project: Orchid Trees for the center walkway of the Main Conservatory of Longwood Gardens for the 2010 Orchid Extravaganza. Commissioned by Longwood designer Jim Sutton, the purpose of the project is to draw people into the main conservatory. The trees would be inexact mirror images of each other on opposite sides of the walkway and will be approximately 10'-12' tall. They would be covered in fuschia Phaleonopsis orchids, hanging Philodendron and Spanish moss with a sea of white daffodils and ferns placed underneath to maximize the impact. The project is said to be moving forward.
