If you think that orchid shows are just excuses to buy more orchids, then you’re overlooking the fact that shows provide invaluable opportunities to see breathtaking flowers, to learn about orchids from the experts, and to meet other local orchid enthusiasts. And if you come home with some great new orchids in hand, just consider that a bonus. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it.
