The 2012 Annual Orchid Show & Sale will be held March 16, 17 and 18 in the Baker Center Gym at the Moorings Presbyterian Church, 791 Harbour Drive, Naples. Show hours are Friday, 3-6pm, Saturday, 9am-5pm and Sunday 12-4pm. The theme is chosen from members’ ideas. This year’s theme is Orchids on Parade. Admission is $8 at the door, cash or checks accepted. Those under 12 are free. A coupon good for one admission is on the home page of this website.
The show features prize-winning orchids of many species and hybrids. Card-table size and large floor-size artistic displays of blooming orchid plants, containers full of potted orchids and cut orchid flower arrangements all compete for ribbons and awards. American Orchid Society judges award outstanding single plants for best in a variety of classes. More information about the exhibits and plant competitions is contained in the rules and regulations for the show entries. Please see the information below.
Only hobby grower members are eligible for the Naples Orchid Society awards, but anyone may enter an individual orchid to be judged for AOS awards. If awarded, the owner of the plant must pay for any AOS award, but can opt out of accepting AOS awards when registering the entry.
Orchid vendors are also present at the show, selling beautiful blooming orchids and orchid supplies. NOS members host the show and are available to explain how to care for and grow all kinds of different orchids.
