If you have attended a previous show, you know that other orchid societies around our region, including Kansas City, Springfield, Tulsa, and Memphis, will put in exhibits at our show, as well as our society and several individuals and groups.

This is an official American Orchid Society judged show. To be an AOS orchid judge takes years of study and one is continuously evaluated by the more senior judges.

We usually have several plants at our show that are given AOS "flower quality" awards, a sign of excellence.

We order orchids to sell from various vendors that we've vetted, from Hawaii, California, Louisiana, and one from Missouri who has won many awards for his Vanda orchids. We always try to have a wide selection - things already in bud for people who want a quick hit of the tropics in March, smaller plants for those who like to grow things up themselves, odd things for people that like 'weird', things for a wide range of growing conditions ... the one kind you won't find many, or any, of is the ones you can find at grocery stores.

We have some very good growers among our members and they'll be there to help regarding how to care for each type, or what might do best in their conditions. We are offering free orchid care classes and since we have more space this year, they'll be less crowded.

We'll have a basic orchid care class with a demo on how to repot an orchid (something that worries a lot of new orchid owners), and one that goes deeper into some aspects of orchid growing for those who like to get a bit more technical.
