Orchid aficionados, whether beginner or expert, crave four things: 1) orchid plants; 2) orchid people; 3) orchid education; and 4) more orchid plants. The AOS is the unquestioned #1 conduit to reaching the orchid community. This section opens the doors to an array of orchid events and related contacts, from local (show calendars) to worldwide (World Orchid Conference details). What-where-when-who particulars tie here to AOS Member Meetings, regional orchid events, specialty orchid organization meetings, speakers days, conservation conferences, research seminars, trade shows, orchid fairs, and events at the AOS Visitors Center and Botanical Garden.
