Our Community
Who we are
The National Capital Orchid Society (NCOS) is a Community of people in the greater Washington DC area who are passionate about 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 History
The Society was founded in 1947 by a local orchid grower named Eugene Griffith. Read more about the 74 year history of our Community, continue reading.
