The New York Botanical Garden's Orchid Dinner is the Prettiest Night of the Year

On February 6, the New York Botanical Garden hosted the annual Orchid Dinner in celebration of its upcoming exhibition The Orchid Show: Singapore. This year, in partnership with Veranda, the NYBG gathered a group of designers-including Paris Forino, T&C's own David Netto, and Phillip Thomas-to create larger-than-life orchid arrangements in homage to the verdant city of Singapore. The event, held at the Plaza Hotel, raised $500,000 to benefit NYBG's orchid research collection. The Orchid Show: Singapore, is open at Enid A. Haupt Conservatory from February 23 through April 28.
