Northwest and Mount Baker Orchid Societies' Show
The exotic beauty of orchids has fascinated gardeners for more than two centuries. And, every year, here at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, thousands come to admire and buy some of the showiest flowers on earth. Last year, 10,000 orchids were sold at this show-within-a-show! Come up to the sixth floor, talk to orchid experts from the Northwest Orchid Society and the Mount Baker Orchid Society, and marvel at the exquisite elegance of Cymbidium, Dendrobium and Phalaenopsis.

Bonsai Exhibit
Near the garden area on the fourth floor, Puget Sound Bonsai Association once again displays the creative beauty of this ancient art. Through pruning skill and an artful eye, trees are kept as perfect miniatures, giving the illusion of wild growth.

Ikebana
Next to the Bonsai exhibit, Ikebana International Seattle Chapter creates graceful statements with their floral designs. This educational display of Ikebana, the Japanese art of flower arranging, inspires and teaches about the elegant combination of containers and flowers.
