STONEHAM, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Hundreds of beautiful orchids are blooming this winter at the Franklin Park Zoo.
They are all part of the 'Orchid Adventure' at the zoo's Tropical Rain Forest.
Josh Meyer is the Curator of Horticulture and Sustainability with Zoo New England. "Orchid Adventure celebrates biodiversity, conservation, and the wonders of the natural world," he said.
He also said that experiencing the orchid exhibit while inside the Tropical Rain Forest, especially during these dark winter months, helps provide some warmth and nourishment for the soul. "Escape the winter blues, escape the cold weather, and come and learn."
'Orchid Adventure' is open until March 10th.
