March is our annual show and sale so there is no regular Friday night meeting. In place of the meeting, we will be preparing for the weekend's show and sale. No volunteer will be turned away. Volunteers also get first shot at purchasing orchids from vendor's and Member's Sale starting at approximately 8:00PM. Please plan to come to the show on Saturday and Sunday, March 11 and 12 from 10AM to 4PM at the Senior Center
This year’s show has been expanded so there’s even more to see and enjoy. We will have more vendors including some new plant and artistic vendors. We will also have an “Orchid Café” where you can sit and enjoy a cup of coffee and a cookie with friends. Another new addition is the “Kids Korner” which will have fun and educational orchid activities for children.
Come to the show, bring a friend, and spread the word.

It is important to note that the data in the above table has not been absolutely proven. Keep in mind that orchids themself, determine when they bloom, and this is dependent upon environmental factors. The biggest factor is indoor versus greenhouse growing. To best determine the flowering season, one must research the orchid of interest.
