Plant Exhibition Information

One of the Paphiopedilum Forum’s extraordinary features is the large variety of fine blooming slippers on the exhibit table. Everyone is encouraged to bring in their blooming slipper orchids for display.  Special prizes are drawn for registrants who bring show plants.

As the Paph Forum is an AOS-sanctioned event, all plants exhibited at the Forum will be considered for AOS judging.
