Peninsula Orchid Society Returns with a Great Show
Last Sunday, the Peninsula Orchid Society Show returned to San Mateo, California, south of San Francisco. After being cancelled for two years because of the pandemic, this year’s original January date was also postponed. The show’s successful return featured plenty of gorgeous orchids, good vendors, and friendly faces. The impressive displays spotlighted Bay Area cool-growing favorites like Masdevallias and Cymbidiums, including traditionally-grown East Asian Cymbidiums. It was very obviously an optimal blooming time for Sarcochilus hybrids, and there were dozens of fascinating colors and patterns to compare. The last row of photos below highlights three of them.
It’s a pleasure to see events like this returning. It’s also great to be reminded that small shows can present excellent displays. Last winter’s enormous Pacific Orchid Expo was on a grander scale, and truly spectacular, but smaller events are definitely worth your time, too. Check back soon for more pictures.
