Fortunately, I still have plenty of pictures to enjoy from last year’s orchid show. The Pacific Orchid Expo was spectacular, as always, in late February, 2020. A few weeks later, the San Francisco Bay Area was the first part of the nation to go into lockdown for COVID19.

This year’s show was cancelled, of course. I missed taking loads of pictures, buying a few plants, and chatting with old friends. Last year, I wrote that it’s a shame that San Francisco’s big orchid show only comes around once a year. Now, I’m just hoping that it will happen again. The annual summer show, Orchids in the Park, has already been cancelled for 2021. Meanwhile, it’s easier than ever to stay connected digitally. The San Francisco Orchid Society, like many others, has moved all its activities online, making them accessible from anywhere in the world. Till we meet again…
