The Dracula Ball

Want to go to a fantastic party and help orchids at the same time? Enjoy the Dracula Ball: Gala under Glass on October 19th at the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park. This fundraiser celebrates Draculas — not the Transylvanian kind, but the Latin American orchids with the same name. Tickets start at $75 for the event, which highlights “the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and tactile beauty of rainforests.” It’s for a great cause, supporting the Conservatory’s Highland Tropics Gallery with its important collection of rare, cool-growing orchid species. The three Draculas in the pictures below are prime examples of the Conservatory’s crucial work, and include the famous Dracula vampira in the first photo. Celebrate the blooms on October 19th, and help rare orchids at the Dracula Ball.
