Click the pic to take you there.
Enter a world of dazzling orchids showcased by the best collectors and growers from Hawaii to South America. Stunning exhibits fill the Conservatory and a wide array of orchid varieties—both rare and well-known—are offered for sale.

Enjoy the American Orchid Society-judged show, guided tours, informative talks and a sales pavilion like no other.

Don't know if I mentioned it already or not but both my wife and I are heavy into Orchids and she works for an Orchid nursey that does most of the major shows in the States and she will be at this one working her cute tushy off.
Just thought I'd pass it along for grits and shins. :hippie:

"S" stuff falling from the sky way too often, lol it does make it more difficult but not impossible for you to grow Orchids where you live. I know plenty of folks that live in much worse weather conditions and are growing them with success.
Depends on the type (genus/species) and the depth of your wallet.
I'll see if I can dig up some of the pics of ours that we have and post them.
