Orchids & Ost

The New York Botanical Garden has announced this year’s edition of The Orchid Show will be designed by noted Belgian floral artist Daniel Ost.

The New York Botanical Garden has announced that a special guest will design this year’s edition of The Orchid Show, a popular event that fills the historic Enid A. Haupt Conservatory on its Bronx grounds.

Noted Belgian floral artist Daniel Ost will create a series of installations, each, we’re told, “a living sculpture that celebrates the complex beauty of these stunning flowers.”

Ost has cultivated a worldwide reputation for his installations in both public and private spaces, with his work traditionally featuring both living and cut flowers.

His large-scale art has drawn comparisons to many sculptors. In Belgium he has been called “the Picasso of flower arranging.”

Sounds like this year’s show – the 16th edition opens March 3 and continues through April 22 – will be yet another “must-see” event at the Garden.
