This is the final show for the club this year. There will be plants on the show benches that will enable you to marvel at the flowers of these unique plants that come in all colours, shapes and sizes. There are over 500 genre of orchids known, but this display will be mainly of native orchids like the Sarcochilus. At this show last year, there were over 180 plants on the benches. It was a beautiful display.
There will be plants for sale and a potting demonstration at 11am and 1pm each day.
Our members are happy to talk to you about your orchids if you bring them along, however, please make sure they are pest free or as a community member did last show, take photos and we can look at them and offer suggestions.
The Batemans Bay Orchid and Foliage Society meets on the first Monday of each month except January at the Soldiers Club. Members wishing to bench plants may do so from 6.30pm with members voting on the best plants from 7pm. The general meeting starts at 7.30pm. There is a guest speaker most months. Visitors are always welcome.
