EIOS 'Orchids are a SCREAM, 2026' finished the weekend of October 24-25 and our display in the round received the Show Trophy and prestigeous Sliver Certificate from the AOS judges. More pictures under orchid show tab.
The Eastern Iowa Orchid Society (EIOS), formerly the Iowa City Orchid Society, is as our logo states “A small group of people with a big love of growing orchids”. Members come from all around eastern Iowa. We meet at the Shueyville Church, Shueyville, Iowa. No meeting July or August. The church is located 1 mile EAST of Exit 10 (Swisher-Shueyville) off interstate 380. Our meetings begin with a social time at 6:30 pm; followed by the official meeting and an educational program at 7:00 pm. Meetings are free and open to anyone interested in orchids! Our club displays orchids at regional orchid shows and participates in American Orchid Society orchid judging. Meetings include educational programs on beginning orchid growing, discussion about various types of orchids, and orchid conservation. Check out our brief video!

Our club activities will now be highlighted under the web tab Club News instead of quarterly newsletters. Our past newsletters are still listed. This was necessary as the program format for the old newsletters is no longer supported. The News section will continue to contain photos of member's orchids, educational material, and summary of meeting activities.
December meeting is our annual Holiday Party! Potluck with the club providing chicken and some potatoes. Be sure to email Jon Lorence, lorence5@aol.com, if you are coming and what dish you are bringing. All paid members will get to choose a blooming orchid!
