Ft. Pierce Orchid Show

Ft. Pierce, FL Orchid Show, October 2009
This weekend, I visited my first orchid show! There were so many amazingly beautiful, exotic blooms in one place! I wasn't sure if I'd be welcomed or snubbed, since I obviously know nothing about orchids. But I was warmly welcomed...everyone seemed excited to see some new faces, share their knowledge, and show off their expertise. It was a lot of fun!
My only experience with orchids is a lovely dendrobium, the easiest of all orchids, I'm told. Thank goodness! It was a gift from a friend a few years ago for my birthday, and it blooms religiously twice a year, once annually in October for my birthday!
The orchid society members encouraged me to learn more and venture out into the orchid world, enticing me to join their organization. I'm certainly considering it! Until then, enjoy the lovely blooms and imagine the glorious perfume!
