Merriweather Post's Orchid Collection
Q) What can you tell me about Merriweather Post’s orchid collection? Aaron T.
A) The name Merriweather Post is often mentioned in connection with the famed music pavilion near Washington D.C. or for the popular line of breakfast cereals that includes Grape Nuts Flakes. However not many people know that Marjorie Merriweather Post maintained extensive orchid greenhouses which held one of the largest private collections in the United States.
