October 14, Myriad Gardens, 301 W Reno Ave, OKC, 297.3974, myriadgardens.org
Orchids are among nature’s most spectacular showpieces, producing prismatic splendor from near-black to brilliant white and a thousand varied and variegated shades between, but not even the most dedicated botanical breeder has ever produced a transparent one. The Crystal Orchid cannot be grown nor purchased, only accepted as a token of gratitude for years of service and support of the Myriad Gardens. Their namesake Foundation will so honor Devon Energy Executive Chairman Larry Nichols at the annual Orchids in October luncheon, surrounded by the beauty Nichols has helped to maintain and nurture.
