Wherever you find yourself in 2026 — whether it’s a world-class exhibition hall or a conservatory greenhouse with steamed-up glass and winter light — this orchid event calendar gives you a starting point, a way for growers, travelers, buyers, exhibitors, and the newly curious to plan the year with something to look forward to each month. The rest is simply the adventure of showing up. Happy planning — and even happier blooming.

There’s something quietly poetic about stepping into a greenhouse in late winter, when the city outside is still wrapped in cold stone and soft grey skies. Vienna has its own rhythm that time of year — slow cafés, fog resting low over the Danube, people wrapped in scarves — and then suddenly you walk through the doors of Blumengärten Hirschstetten and it feels like the world has been switched to technicolor.
