Beyond their beauty, orchids are also known as one of the most difficult plants to grow. While most orchid owners know one tip for sustaining these botanical beauties— “just add ice”— bringing them to bloom is a bit more complicated. Learn all about orchids, or just enjoy gazing at many orchid varieties, during two upcoming events in Michigan: the Ann Arbor Orchid Festival (March 17-18) and the 63rd annual Orchid Show and Sale (March 24-25) in the greater Detroit area. Shop for flowers and supplies and attend free lectures and classes during both events. Ann Arbor event: 10am-4:30pm Saturday, March 17 and Sunday, March 18. Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum, 1800 N Dixboro Rd., Ann Arbor, MI. 734-647-7600. Mbgna.umich.edu. Orchid Sale and Show: 11am-5pm Saturday, March 24. 11am-4pm Sunday, March 25.
