A replica of a brownstone facade overtaken by vibrant pink and purple blooms and a sparkling car wash servicing a yellow cab are just some of the classic city scenes turned into floral fantasies in “Mr. Flower Fantastic’s Concrete Jungle“ this year’s pop-timistic iteration of the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG)’s annual orchid show. Queens-born-and-based Mr. Flower Fantastic had been in talks with NYBG about a potential collaboration for more than three years. When he pitched the New York City theme to curators, they knew they’d landed on a hit: a way to connect their admittedly far-out campus to the classic iconography people around the world associate with the Empire State. Greta Rainbow takes us through the exhibit in her latest article on Hyperallergic. Read it now through the link in bio. . . .
