Brout Orchid Collection
The Brout Orchid Collection housed in the Murdough Greenhouses are the gift of Alan P. Brout, Dartmouth class of 1951. His donation of nearly 1000 individual plants from the family Orchidaceae ranging from Ada and Aerangis to Zygatorea and Zygopetalum represents over 30 years of collecting and caring.
The Brout Collection has since continued to grow with
huge hybrid Cattleyas, the familiar prom corsage orchid, to the delicate Trichosalpinix blaisdelii,
where a magnifying glass is needed to more fully enjoy the tiny blooms, to spider-like Brassias, and the
strange and unusual Dracula , there are orchid flowers in an almost unbelievable variety of shapes and structures.
Many of the orchids have won prizes in local and regional competition and the collection is recognized by the
American Orchid Society .
As with the other greenhouse collections, the Brout Orchid Collection is free and open to view by the public.
