  • An earlier tour of Longwood Garden's Conservatory strategically skipped their newly designed orchid house-but don't worry-we circled back with orchid grower, Greg Griffis, for a proper tour of the house and the myriad greenhouses that house their larger orchid collection-some of which are from the early 1900s.

    Thank you for this beautiful tour of our Orchid House. It's always great to see Greg light up with enthusiasm when he shares orchid stories with other passionate plant people. You really captured some great information about our orchid collection, our greenhouses, and all the amazing stories about the world of orchids. We look forward to hosting you again!

      Awesome tarp doors! They remind me of the Star Wars doors - they sound similar to some of the doors in KotOR (@32:45).
      I Would love to see a 30ft Sobralia! (@44:10)
      Looking forward to Orchids being adapted/selected to epiphytically grow on every plant/surface in Longwood! :D
      ⸘Y'all have given me an excellent reason to come visit out east with the family, thank you‽

    This is one of my FAVORITE videos that you have made on these field trips. What a knowledgeable, friendly, and driven interviewee - thank you Greg! The varieties that were shown were absolutely gorgeous and seeing the passion in his eyes with Longwood releasing their own hybrids. Summer, you are one of a kind. Thank you for bringing this amazing content to us.

    Greg Griffis is extremely knowledgeable! I had the pleasure of having a personal tour by him back around 2017 at Longwood. He had great ideas and grew orchids well going forward. He also does great talks on orchids! He is definitely an asset to Longwood and the orchid community as a whole! Glad to see this feature.

    As someone who's killed so many orchids, I'm always in awe of people who can grow a collection of them. They're such fascinating plants. Also, it kind of makes me feel better that even Longwood has to have a specialist take care of them haha.

    Hi Summer Rayne, THANK YOU SO MUCH for dedicating an entire video the my favorite plant!! Orchids are my first love plant and I enjoy caring for them and watching them grow and bloom, (if I'm lucky). They have taught me the art of being patient and being rewarded with their extremely beautiful blooms.

    A couple of things; when i was in high school i would skip school but not to go hang out at the mall or at home, i did what my friends called "educational trips" Longwood Gardens was one of my go to places to skip school. And it was super cheap for students to go. 5 bucks. And also i would skip school to go the baltimore aquarium.

    I love Longwood Gardens! Our family was members for many years. Well worth it! One of my personal favorite orchid--a very unusual specimen-- was in the old alcove in a square lattice basket suspended from the ceiling. The tiny blooms were on the ends of threadlike tendrils, much like a spider plant when viewed from a distance it had up-right like grassy leaves and the hanging down blossoms were enchanting. Thank you for this wonderful tour!
