What to see!

 

Orchids on the Square attracts the area’s many orchid lovers as well as those who love photographing them.   You can climb a short flight of stairs and view the many orchids on display for judging.  These are the perfect orchids that amateurs like myself can only hope to obtain.

On the main floor are dozens of orchid vendors. These are not the orchids you’ll find at the big box stores.  There are, of course, Vandas, Cattleya and Phalaenopsis.  But you can also find Brassavola, Catasetum, Oncidiums, many miniature orchids, and species orchids.  

And more!

Want to know how to care for your orchids?  This is the perfect place.  You can also purchase orchid supplies and enter to win one of the many raffles being held.  

And even more!

Each year the Delray beach Orchid Society partners with Fifth Grade Students at Banyan Creek Elementary School for an orchid drawing contest.  Cash prizes are awarded to all participants.

 

Tips:

You can park in the City Garage across the street.

Bring your camera!!!

Bring a large shopping bag to take home your new orchids.

Hi Kathy -- orchids seem to attract almost rock star-like attention from many people -- the fragrance, the simplicity, the colors --- you'll definitely need to follow the advice of Roy Kelley and bring along your camera.  Enjoy!

Kathy.  You were already indexed in Google so their routine crawl got your post.  However, you have to do the Google plus thing manually.  The icon is right at the top of the AR page.

I'm very gratful to ActiveRain for making this so easy.

Kathy,

We both love orchids, and it would be so much fun to see this show...I am alwasy so amazed by the varieties, just when you think you have seen them all, invariably a new one pops out at you...and they last so long.  A

PS I hope you go and take lots of pictures.  A

To be in a room and to look at all the colors Mother Nature has for just one subject (orchids) gets the mind to wonder how she takes care of all that is before us.
