One of the larger orchid shows held each year in the state of Florida, the 55th Annual Platinum Coast Orchid Society Show will be held in the air-conditioned Kiwanis Island Park Gymnasium and Annex. The show has been enormously successful in past years and this year promises to be even better.

The show will feature informative lectures and spectacular orchid exhibits created by commercial growers and amateur exhibitors. Commercial growers in attendance will have thousands of orchid plants for sale to the general public. Some of the growers are from the immediate area, while others are from throughout Florida, and the world. The show is an American Orchid Society (AOS) judged event. Worthy entries in the show will receive certificates or AOS awards.

The Orchid Society will present potting demonstrations on how to divide and repot orchids. A courtesy booth will be staffed by members of the Society to dispense orchid growing information, advice and assistance to the attending public. There will be frequent drawings for beautiful orchid plants and other prizes throughout the duration of the Show. A wide range of orchid growing supplies will also be available for sale to the public.

Times: Friday and Saturday: 9:00 A.M – 5:00 P.M.;  Sunday: 9:00 A.M – 4:00 P.M.

Admission: $5.00 (free parking)
