Trick or truth - Wild orchids in Luxembourg
Exhibition at the 'natur musée'
Orchids are the second largest plant family in the world, with over 30,000 known species. They are masters of deception in attracting their pollinators by unusual means.
From "ghost orchids" and "fungal symbioses": The exhibition shows which orchids are native to Luxembourg, what they look like and what makes them special.
The unique diversity and splendour of orchid flowers is presented in the "Trick or truth!" Expo using, among other things, unique plastic casts of real plants. These award-winning botanical models by Sebastian Brandt are handcrafted using a new type of reproduction process in painstaking detail.
The exhibition shows around 45 orchid species, indigenous to Luxembourg, and will take place from 26 May to 27 August 2023 on the 2nd floor of the "natur musée".
