B. Willow & Hotel Revival welcome you inside the Garden Room at Topside in Mt. Vernon for the re-launch of our botanical series. Every other month will focus on different rarities within the plant world, from cacti that haven’t been watered in 400 years, to orchids that mimic insects. Sip on delicious flora-inspired cocktails, learn about some fascinating plants, and leave with one of your own!

Join us for the next edition of Flora: Deception & Disguise!

Plants have evolved remarkable ways of fooling the world around them, in order to enhance their own survival. In this lecture, we will discuss several examples within the plant kingdom to highlight how certain species behave in unexpected ways.

$45 ticket includes 2 cocktails, and a potted Stapelia gigantea: these plants are known as a “carrion” plant, because their flower emits a pungent (but beautiful) flower!
