Who we are
The National Capital Orchid Society is a group of people in the greater Washington DC area who are passionate growing orchids. Learn more about these fascinating and beautiful plants and how to grow them at our seven monthly meetings with an invited speaker.
We also have several special events each year, including the:
- Paph Forum in late January,
- the Annual Orchid Show over Presidents Day weekend in February (Feb 15-17)
- the Annual Orchid Auction in late April,
- the Summer Picnic in late June,
- and the holiday party in December.
We welcome other enthusiasts to join us for these events.
Our Story
