"From our founding in 1921, the AOS has been the go-to resource for orchid growers of all stripes. Many members are hobbyists who enjoy growing orchids and want to learn more about them. Others enjoy the thrill of exhibiting their orchids in shows hosted by local orchid societies. And still, others aspire to become an orchid judge. Many are interested in the latest hybridizing trends, others in protecting orchids in the wild, and still others in research that advances orchidology.The four-day celebration will encompass our 2022 Spring Members Meeting activities, an exciting live auction, and a splendid gala banquet that will feature a gourmet dinner, live entertainment, music, and dancing in a beautiful and historic setting."
