Orchid Odyssey June 19, 2009

The zoo's two orchid greenhouses, home to over 3,000 orchid plants from over 800 species, varieties and cultivars, are open to zoo visitors during Orchid Odyssey. The orchid expert, as well as members of the San Diego County Orchid Society, are on hand to answer questions during this "open house." The orchid greenhouses are located on the path just west of the African Kopje's meerkats.
