The Orchid Society is one group which I am not a member of, I think I passed through my &#8216;orchid phase&#8217; a few years ago, but I encourage others to consider joining &#8211; this particular chapter is interesting because it meets on weeknights rather than on weekends, which fits my calendar more conveniently. <br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265529821327099394\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/orchidshow3.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 265px; width: 400px;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265529816218093906\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/orchidshow2.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 266px; width: 400px;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265529818630587986\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/orchid_masdevalia.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 266px; width: 400px;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265529814213240994\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/dend_violaceum.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; height: 266px; width: 400px;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAst weekend ( halloween weekend here), our local Orchid society held its annual show at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden in Boylston, Massachusetts, an&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11836,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[50,90],"class_list":["post-11835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-orchids","tag-plant-society-shows"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
