Orchids in all colors and different shapes will be shown in beautiful displays, ranging in size from nine square feet to one hundred, created by individual orchid growers, four orchid societies, and ten commercial growers. The picture shows some of the commercial exhibits from the2011 Show.
Some orchids have delicious fragrances from cinnamon, wintergreen, cloves, and jasmine to the smell of rotten meat to attract a pollinator.
