February is a busy orchid month. Of course, I’m most excited about San Francisco’s Pacific Orchid Expo, but there’s plenty more on offer. The world’s largest orchid show takes place in Tokyo, and the 23rd World Orchid Conference happens in Taiwan, along with the Taiwan International Orchid Show. There are also long-term exhibits in New York City, London, and Paris.
