In Full Bloom: Orchid Display

February 10, 2026 - March 15, 2026

It may be the depth of winter, but Rockford Park District’s Nicholas Conservatory is teeming with color!

Enjoy a break from winter to see hundreds of tropical orchids creatively displayed in the warm tropical exhibition area.

This year’s theme is “Orchids in Motion,” featuring all things movement, from clocks to cars and boats to skis, all adorned with cheerful orchids whimsically incorporated into the various everyday objects in motion.
