Enjoy the Filoli Orchid Show in a Famous Mansion
The Filoli Orchid Show spotlights great orchids inside a celebrated mansion. Filoli Historic House and Garden in Woodside, California is always worth a visit, and the orchids are a beautiful bonus. Even if you’ve never heard of Filoli, you may recognize the estate from its many Hollywood appearances, including the TV show Dynasty, and the films Heaven Can Wait, George of the Jungle, and The Joy Luck Club.
The orchid show features flower arrangements throughout the house, along with some orchids from Filoli’s own greenhouses. In addition, the kitchen contains blooming plants from local orchid societies. The estate was built in 1915, and has 16 acres (6.5 hectares) of formal gardens. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Don’t miss the Filoli Orchid Show, which continues for another month until February 22nd. And check here again soon for more photos from our visit to the estate.
