“Orchid Muse: A History of Obsession in Fifteen Flowers”
Join us for an orchid exhibit and a talk by Erica Hannickel, author of Orchid Muse, exploring the role of orchids in inspiring freedom. This program focuses on several chapters of Hannickel’s book Orchid Muse, a History of Obsession in Fifteen Flowers. As a follow-up to Origin of Species, the orchid book scientifically investigated the flowers in new ways but surprisingly also advocated for the end to slavery in American and around the world. Following the talk, books will be available for purchase and signing.
