At the end of April, Dave and I enjoyed attending a little orchid show in nearby San Mateo, south of San Francisco. The Peninsula Orchid Society and the Gold Coast Cymbidium Society joined forces for an event that was full of winning orchids. Elegant, exotic, weird, wonderful, large, and small were packed into wonderfully diverse displays.

In addition to the displays, there were lots of vendors and friendly orchid folk. I’m still sorting through our photos, so check back soon for more. If you’re unsure whether a small show is worth a visit, I’d suggest going to check it out. You might be pleasantly surprised at how many amazing flowers you’ll see.
