  Our motto is "Know It, Grow It, Show It (and Try Not to Kill It)". Membership is your gateway to information, fellowship and opportunity, whether your orchid collection has 5 plants or 500! 

 Since 1921, orchid education has been what the American Orchid Society is all about.  Find information on all aspects of orchids and how to care for your orchids and get them to bloom to their best potential.   

Here is where you'll find printable information, including handouts from recent speakers, schedules and lists.
