Inspired by the Solar Eclipse

This stunning collection of orchids is a visual treat that captures the essence of spring.
A Blooming Oasis
Springtime in Ontario can be notoriously fickle! When the temps are still a little chilly, this is the perfect place to escape into a world of floral wonder. The Floral Showhouse is a lush oasis just a short stroll from Niagara Falls, showcasing a variety of tropical plant species, including succulents and orchids, throughout the year.
Theme and Design
Step into a whimsical realm adorned with orchid moon gates, arches, and pillars, all designed to reflect the captivating theme of the Solar Eclipse. Marvel at the unique orchid varieties like Blackadder, Little Pinky, Pikachu, and Sunshine, complemented by majestic palms and other exotic flora.
First-of-its-Kind Event
Niagara Parks’ first Orchid Show was originally planned for the spring of 2020; however, it never officially opened to the public due to the pandemic. The 2024 Orchid Show is the first of its kind to open to the public at the Floral Showhouse!
Orchid enthusiasts and nature lovers alike are in for a treat, witnessing the meticulous care and dedication of the horticulturalists who prepared these exquisite blooms. Don’t miss this extraordinary showcase of nature’s artistry!
