Shows wind down in the Northern Hemisphere as summer approaches, but orchid lovers down under have lots of choices. In Canada, the Bruce Peninsula Orchid Festival is not a show, but a chance to enjoy Ontario’s native orchids blooming in the wild.

I think that to enter a flower for judging at an orchid show you must present a good motivation. However, one time I have received an award on one of my plants, when I did not think the bloom was at its best. I certainly did not complain about my award!
