I said that March was a busy month for orchid shows, and I wasn’t kidding! This is only a partial listing of shows around the world, from here in San Francisco to Atlanta, Buenos Aires, and Costa Rica. The Philadelphia Flower Show, while not specifically an orchid show, is the largest flower show in the world, and definitely worth a visit if you’re in the City of Brotherly Love.
