Welcome to Eastern Iowa Orchid Society

A small group of people with a big love of growing orchids

Phal. Lianher Jellyfish 'LH 1042-10, Iowa' AM/AOS

 This is an example of the new trend in Phalaenopsis breeding with 'big lip' flowers. The lip in this case mimics the petals and is called a 'petaloid' lip. This was awarded at  Chicago monthly judging to EIOS member Robert Bannister in May, 2022. 

Welcome

 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 United Methodist Church, Shueyville, Iowa.  

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.
