Annual Orchid Show and Sale
With the theme of “Tropical Delight”, the Baton Rouge Orchid Society
will present its 31th annual Orchid Show and Plant Sale on July 10 -
11 at the Baton Rouge Garden Center, 3790 Independence Blvd. Orchid
societies from Houma, Lafayette, and Alexandria, and others from
across the Gulf South will stage awesome exhibits to carry out this
theme.
This Show and Sale provide an opportunity to experience the sight
and aroma of hundreds of exotic orchids in one place. Visitors will
see everything to huge plants with six foot spikes of flowers to
plants with miniscule flowers that are best viewed with a magnifying
glass and everything in between. There may even be some leafless
orchids that consist only of roots and flowers. Additionally, many
orchids feature fragrances to attract their pollinators. Some smell
like chocolate, some like grape drink, others either sweet or spicy.
Some even smell like rotten meat to attract the flies that carry the
pollen.
The Show is free and open to the public. Dates and times are
Saturday, July 10, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, July 11, from
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Throughout the Show members of the Baton Rouge Orchid Society will
be on hand to greet guests, provide guidance in purchasing plants,
and answer questions about orchid culture.
A number of commercial vendors will have plants in bloom – as well
as plants ranging from seedlings to blooming size – to sell. Prices
are reasonable, and cultural information will be available. Vendors
will also have exhibits in the Show.
For further information contact Danna Spayde at 225-317-0933 or
