Orchid SHows are amazing! I try to work on several displays for my society every year.... Wish I had started earlier as I missed learning more from our senior members... It shard not to be too AR about putting up an exhibit... but in the end just do what you can - try to get more members to bring plants for the display... and enjoy looking at it when done.... if it doesn't win anything ( like my last one) that's just the way it goes... they all have to come down 3 days later... Now that's sad! I'm going to the Fairchild Gardens ( Coral Gables Orchid Society) Orchid SHow in 2 days... can't wait!
