'Orchids Are a Scream' Oct. 22-23, 2022 PLAN TO ATTEND

  This orchid show will featured hundreds of blooming orchids beautifully displayed by exhibitors from regional orchid societies, amateur hobbyists, and professional orchid growers; all centered around a Fall Halloween theme. Orchid related crafts and collectables will be displayed as well. All orchids and exhibits were judged by American Orchid Society judges.  Visitors  cast their votes for their favorite orchid exhibit in the show. (The People's Choice Award for 2021, pictured above).  A wide variety of orchid plants and collectables will be for sale by several regional vendors.  Volunteers are onsite to answer questions about the orchids in the show and orchid culture. This show venue was family friendly and offers visitors an “up close and personal” view of some of nature's most exotic flowers, plus some Halloween fun!
