The Orquideorama has a metal under structure with a hexagonal head that forms the shape of a flower. There are 14 of these structures that are interconnected to give an overall honeycomb design to the roof or overhead sections. The metal support structures of the Orquideorama is covered with pinewood slats in a gap fashion that allows for sunlight to penetrate the massive canopy. The trunk of the giant wooden and metal flowers is designed to house a large flower bed and plants. Rainwater is funneled down the canopy to the plants below. [Source]
