Orchid Show and Sale
You have seen plenty of Phalaenopsis orchids for sale in the grocery stores but did you know that there are thousands of other kinds of orchids? They come in size from something a mosquito would love to the size of a small tree. At the orchid show you will see many of these beautiful orchids arranged in colorful displays. Come to the show. Bring a camera. Learn more about care of orchids. Perhaps buy one for yourself or a friend.
The show is an opportunity to see hundreds of orchids in full bloom, purchase some new plants in the large sales area, see how orchids are used in artistic displays, buy a raffle ticket, and learn more about the club.
Bring your camera!! Hand-held cameras and uni-pods anytime. Tripods are allowed only on Sunday morning from 10:00 to 11:00.
