7PM CST: “The Orchid Show – Where to begin? And how to Get the Process Started?

We begin the year on a high note with our first meeting on Monday, January 19, 2026, at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens (refreshments at 6:30 PM, program at 7:00 PM). Our speaker, Tom Harper—longtime OSMT member, AOS Senior Judge since 1984, and Phalaenopsis expert—will lead a discussion on hosting an AOS-sponsored show. We’re actively exploring potential venues and dates, targeting late 2026 or early/spring 2027. This could become a landmark event for our society—featuring world-class judging, spectacular exhibits, vendors, and orchid enthusiasts from across the region. Your ideas, input, and volunteer support will be essential as we move this vision forward. Please come prepared to share your thoughts and enthusiasm!
