Seoul Botanic Park, located in western Seoul’s Gangseo District, is experiencing a vibrant winter transformation with its "Between Winter and Plants" exhibition. This display, running from Friday through January 31, 2027, showcases over 40 tropical orchid varieties, 300 poinsettias, and creative plant arrangements to brighten indoor spaces.
In the Tropical Hall, visitors are greeted by the "Today, Orchids" exhibit, featuring a miniature Phalaenopsis orchid named Aria, which was developed domestically in 2019, along with more than 40 other tropical orchid varieties, such as Oncidium, Cattleya, Vanda, and Cymbidium.
Meanwhile, the Mediterranean Hall offers a Christmas garden, displaying 300 poinsettia plants from 15 domestically developed varieties. These include the red Flame, green Green Star, peach Grace, and pink Pink Bell poinsettias. Additionally, the display features unusual spherical-bracted poinsettias such as Sugar Ball, Red Ball, and Snow Ball. To enhance the festive atmosphere, a fountain installation inspired by Rome is adorned with a Christmas tree arrangement made using the red Flame poinsettias.
