May Orchid Shows

From Albuquerque to Zululand, orchid shows fill every corner of the globe. Many are perfectly timed for Mother’s Day. Among this month’s great events, London’s Chelsea Flower Show is the most famous flower show in the world, and showcases plenty of orchids. The San Jose Orchid Expo pairs floral beauty with wine tasting. Canada’s Bruce Peninsula Orchid Festival isn’t a show, but offers nature tours with the rare opportunity to see 44 native orchid species growing in the wilds of Ontario.
