Orchid Society of Pakistan

Join the Orchid Society of Pakistan
Are you an orchid lover? If so, there are many benefits of joining the Orchid Society of Pakistan:

Discover the Wonderful Species
If you walk into an average florist shop or a nursery and ask for orchid plants, you'll possibly be shown Dendrobiums or Vandas at inflated prices and receive indifferent or incorrect instructions for their culture.

If you hope to grow more than two or three orchid plants on your wind under lights, or in your greenhouse, membership in a local orchid society is your "Open Sesame" to the wonderful world of what has been estimated to be approximately 17,000 species of these intriguing plants (some still undiscovered).

In addition to the species, there are many many thousands of man-made hybrids with registered parentage and complex bloodlines dating back to 1852 when the first orchid hybrid was made in England.

Learn Through Interaction
The Orchid Society of Pakistan arranges meetings which are held 4-5 times a year and offer:

Informal roundtable discussions
Cultural information by advanced growers
Slide programs given by qualified speakers on:

Orchid Growing,
Collecting,
Conserving,
Hybridizing,
Propagating

You can find out whatever you always wanted to know about orchids but didn't know whom to ask. Many amateur orchid lovers get together and learn from each other's personal experiences by regular interaction.

Awards for Deserving Plants
A show table is displayed regularly and awards are given to deserving plants: great for the ego if your plant is selected, a learning session if it's not.
