Why become a Member of VOS

No picture can do justice to an orchid!  Seeing them on a website or at a store (where very limited types of orchids are for sale) simply cannot convey the beauty, size, texture or fragrance of orchids.

Try Us Out! Come and join us at one of our monthly meetings (virtually currently). You will be right at home with other orchid lovers.
