A display container for botanical samples, comprising:

• a) an enclosure including a container body and a lid detachably mounted to the container body to enclose an interior chamber for storing the botanical samples, the lid including a lens for viewing of the botanical samples, and the container body including:
• i. an open top covered by the lid, the open top defined by an opening through which the botanical samples are insertable into the interior chamber,
• ii. an interior base surface in the interior chamber opposite the opening and overtop of which the botanical samples are positionable in the interior chamber, the base surface defined by an area smaller than that of the opening, and
• iii. an interior sidewall surface extending in the interior chamber between an upper end circumscribing the opening and a lower end adjoining a periphery of the base surface, at least a lower portion of the interior sidewall surface sloping downwardly and horizontally inwardly to the base surface for directing loose botanical samples toward the base surface;
• b) one or more scent ports extending through the lid between the interior chamber and an outside environment;
• and
• c) a port blocking member attached to the lid, the port blocking member movable between a closed position in which the one or more scent ports are blocked by the port blocking member, and an open position in which the scent ports are unblocked for sampling an aroma of the botanical samples,
• wherein the lens defines an optical axis, the optical axis intersecting the base surface.
