Orchids, the most glamorous, exotic and alluring of plants, have long been a focus of fascination. Their seductive beauty attracts a kind of rare passion in collectors that can lead to adventure, but also to greed, criminality and death. At the National Botanic Gardens in Dublin there's a long tradition of keeping orchids. They were an obsession of the gardens' longest serving head, Sir Frederick Moore. He built on the work of his father, David Moore, who was credited as the first person to have raised flowering orchids from seed, and from whom he took over curatorship in 1879. He adored orchids and established Glasnevin as one of three international centres of excellence for the plants at the time. He was knighted for his services to horticulture in 1911 and the orchid genus Neomoorea was named for him, along with several species. The botanic gardens' orchid ...

Just across the East River from Manhattan, Brooklyn is bursting with great food, music, culture, green urban spaces, bars, art, and just about everything in between. There's no bad time to visit, of course, but as temperatures cool down after a sweltering summer in the city, the fall vibe in Brooklyn can't be beat. What to do: This single borough has tons of variety, so explore the different neighborhoods, from Williamsburg and Fort Greene to Cobble Hill and Park Slope. Soak up the crisp fall air (complete with views of foliage to match) at Prospect Park or Brooklyn Bridge Park, visit the Brooklyn Museum or the Botanical Garden, go for a tasting at Red Hook Winery or Brooklyn Brewery, visit Smorgasburg food market, drink rooftop cocktails at the William Vale or the Williamsburg Hotel, or hit the beach at Coney Island.  Where to stay : For a real New York feel, rent an Airbnb in one of Brooklyn's hip neighborhoods.

T he night before the official opening of Hotel Granduca's Ristorante Alba, Cathy and Giorgio Borlenghi invited a stylish clutch in for appraisal of the reimagining of the former Ristorante Cavour restaurant, which had provided a romantic dining scene for discriminating diners and hotel guests for more than a decade. An update had been in order. With the molto elegante Borlenghis guiding the transformation, the menu was fine tuned to reflect sophisticated Northern Italian fare, the decor refreshed with true Italian flare and a terribly chic champagne bar was added. Bravissimo! Alba appears to have succeeded on all points. "We wanted it to become something new but continue to have the theme of being a very sophisticated, classic Italian place and to renew ourselves," Granduca owner Giorgio Borlenghi says. "That is why we called it Alba, not just because that's a city in Italy (renowned for its white truffles), but because alba in Italian means dawn so it'...

Otter Creek Used Books looks and smells exactly like what one would expect of a secondhand bookstore in rural Vermont. Hidden behind the main highway that cuts through the town, the store had a sign that announced the weekday hours and a cheeky "Sundays by chance." Next door, a deli played jovial jazz tunes, and customers at a nearby teahouse chatted out in the sun. As soon as I stepped through the door frame, the jazz and the chatter faded away, absorbed by the yellowed, dog-eared books that insulated every wall. Walking through the narrow alleys between the shelves, it occurred to me that the biggest difference between commercial bookshops and used bookstores is that the former wants you to buy books, but the latter welcomes browsing and having visitors sitting down to read. The store seemed cluttered in a welcoming way. Florence Wu Barbara Harding, the owner, was born in Hudson, New York, and moved to Weybridge, Vermont, in 1962. In the ...

When Archbishop Desmond Tutu called South Africa the "Rainbow Nation," his words described the very essence of what makes this country extraordinary. Certainly, the blend of peoples and cultures that his oft-used moniker referred to is instantly evident, but the country's diversity stretches far beyond its people. Within South Africa's borders you can sleep under the stars in a desert or hike to snowcapped peaks. The hills of the Wild Coast provide a bucolic antidote to the bustle of large cities like Johannesburg. Wildlife watching ranges from remote safari walks to up-close encounters with waddling penguins. Here are the must-visit places in South Africa.
