If I don’t have to go anywhere, I love a good snowstorm. But in late February — no, not so much.

Looking for a shot of color in this dull, dreary winter? The annual orchid show at the New York Botanical Garden kicks off tomorrow and runs through April 6.

Thousands of luscious orchids will be on display in an illusory tropical paradise in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, the largest Victorian-style glasshouse in the country. This year, the show casts a spotlight on Singapore, one of the great orchid centers of the world.

Here’s an image by John Peden and NYBG of Dendrobium Suzanne Neil:

The six-week show has proven to be one of the most popular exhibits at the Botanical Garden since it started six years ago.

The various galleries in the glasshouse will feature a reflecting pool with a spiral planter filled with a rainbow of floating orchids, exotic trees with orchids clinging to branches and twining around their trunks and a full array of miniature orchids.

Psychopsis (formerly Oncidium) papilio (butterfly orchid), also by John Peden:

Designer Thomas Noel worked with the Philip Baloun, the original designer of the orchid show who died last year, to create the façade of a two-story pavilion that you might see in Singapore as well as a series of planting arches reminiscent of formal gardens there.

Docent-led tours, home-gardening demonstrations and Q&A sessions with experts will be available. The garden’s Web site, www.nybg.org, will feature a new orchid care tip each day of the show.

The show was curated by Francisca Coelho, senior curator and associate vice president for glasshouses and exhibitions, and Marc Hachadourian, curator of glasshouse collections.

Outside of the Haupt Conservatory, the Orchid Rotunda on the first floor of the library building will feature a display of Dendrobium orchids, including many specimens of these cane orchids that have been recovered by the Botanical Garden in its role as a Plant Rescue Center. Dendrobiums are epiphytic, meaning that they grow wholly upon another plant but are not parasitic and only depend on the host plant for support rather than nourishment.

Vanilla orchids will be on display in an exhibit on the fourth floor of the library building, “Plants and Fungi: Ten Current Research Stories.� On the sixth floor, you can see large 18th- and 19th-century folios with lavish orchid illustrations.

Want to take a few orchids home and try your hand at growing them? The Shop in the Garden near the Visitor Center will be selling thousands of orchids during the run of the show.

The Botanical Garden is at Bronx River Parkway (Exit 7W) and Fordham Road in the Bronx. For more information or to purchase tickets online, visit www.nybg.org or call 718-817-8700.
