North America, Europe, and Asia offer a multitude of shows this month. Many are perfectly timed to shop for Valentine’s gifts. Starting February 19th, Tokyo hosts the largest orchid show in the world, the Japan Grand Prix International Orchid Festival. It fills Tokyo’s biggest baseball stadium with orchids for 9 days, and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors. Around the globe, from Vancouver to Boca Raton to Aachen, smaller shows inspire plenty of their own awe and astonishment.
