If you could swing a kangaroo by the tail in Australia this September, I’m pretty sure you’d hit an orchid show. Aussies certainly love their orchids, but for those of us far from Oz, there are plenty of other events around the world. Orchid shows also abound in North America, Europe, South America, South Africa, and New Zealand this month. Here in San Francisco, Orchids in the Park Show & Sale is well worth a trip to Golden Gate Park.
