Interested in Orchids?
You've come to the right place! lthough we are located in
Winnipeg we have members from all over Manitoba that can
help you with information about growing orchids. Our
meetings and annual show are also a great chance to purchase
those hard to find orchid treasures.
Did you know?
The orchid family contains more than 25,000 species, with many still
being discovered today. Orchids grow on every continent except
Antarctica, in an amazing range of environments. In spite of their
exotic appearance, many orchids are no more difficult to grow
than other houseplants.
Beginners
Excellent beginners' plants are sold in stores and garden centers,
and a windowsill makes a suitable home for hundreds of species
and hybrids. Once a few basic principles have been mastered, the
choices for growing are endless.
Monthly Meetings
We'd love to help you get started on your orchid adventure. Our monthly
meetings feature slide shows, plant sales, culture sessions and
workshops, a monthly raffle and a yearly silent auction. There's
the excitement of our Annual Orchid Show, which attracts thousands
of visitors every year. And members get the monthly MOS newsletter,
plus access to an extensive library of orchid books, videos and
magazines. All this and friendship, fun and good times.
