Gallery: The star of the orchid exhibition blooms for only a week
A week-long orchid exhibition opens tomorrow at the University of Tartu Botanical Garden, showcasing a variety of fragrant orchids.
Starting tomorrow, the University of Tartu Botanical Garden will host an orchid exhibition, providing visitors not only with a visual treat but also a feast for the senses with its array of delightful fragrances. According to Sten Mander, a senior gardener at the botanical garden, the scents in the exhibition hall change throughout the day, with some plants being more fragrant in the evenings, creating a unique experience for attendees. The exhibition highlights the delicate beauty and diverse aromas of various orchid species, drawing attention to the importance of these flowers in horticulture and biodiversity. The event is particularly significant as it brings together local enthusiasts and the community, fostering appreciation for botany and floral artistry. This exhibition is a prime opportunity for anyone interested in orchids to deepen their understanding of their characteristics and care, while also enjoying the short-lived blooms that contribute to the allure of these captivating plants. Visitors can engage in discussions and gather insights from knowledgeable staff, enhancing their experience. As the exhibition lasts for only a week, it emphasizes the fleeting nature of orchid blooms, prompting visitors to cherish the beauty of these flowers during their brief period of flowering. The event not only serves as an educational platform but also as a celebration of the ephemeral beauty found in nature, encouraging attendees to reflect on their relationship with the natural world and the importance of plant conservation.
