The Miami Valley Orchid Society and the Greater Cincinnati Orchid Society are pleased to host the MidAmerica Orchid Congress Fall 2005 meeting at the Kings Island Resort and Conference Center.
Hundreds of fall-blooming orchids will be on display in exhibits by orchid societies from Georgia to Minnesota. Newly released orchid hybrids, hard-to-find species and growing supplies will be on sale.
This is the first time the Mid-America Orchid Congress has been held in the Cincinnati-Dayton area. It is a remarkable opportunity to see orchid exhibits from regional societies and to buy plants and supplies from vendors who are normally only accessible by mail order.
Admission to the show on Saturday
10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
and Sunday
9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. is free but registration is necessary to attend the speakers' programs on Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
