Some pictures from shows in the region. There are three shows scheduled in our region in 2023. Please visit the home pages of the orchid societies that have shows planned for this fall and support them if you can. The societies are: Great Divide Orchid Society (Helena, MT, September, date to be determined), Denver Orchid Society (Denver Botanic Gardens, March 11-12) and Utah Orchid Society (Red Butte Gartens, Salt Lake City, UT, April 1-2).

The Denver Orchid Society often has “bench shows” where all flowers of a kind are grouped together. Here is the lady slipper section.
