Calling all Miami Beach Orchid Lovers: Get ready to submit your prize-winning orchids to our AOS-judged show!
Get Ready for the Orchid Show!
On May 2nd, the Miami Beach Orchid Society is hosting an official American Orchid Society Show! That means you—yes, members and the public—can bring your orchids to our pre-festival celebration and have them judged by accredited AOS judges for a chance to win some fabulous prizes. Are your orchids ready for the spotlight?
To help you prepare, our April 23rd meeting will feature three South Florida orchid powerhouses:
Sandi Block Brezner – AOS-accredited judge from the West Palm Beach Judging Center
Jan Amador – Former president and long-time show chair of the Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society
Lucy Matos-Lodato – Current president of the Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society and leader of the Orchidteers (a volunteer group who have mounted over 4000 orchids!)
These incredible women will guide you through how to get your orchids show-ready!
We encourage all members to bring their blooming or (almost blooming) orchids to this meeting for hands-on advice. Can’t bring your plants? No problem—photos work too! The entire meeting will focus on demystifying the show and judging process so you can feel confident entering your orchids and maybe even taking home a ribbon!
We can't wait to see you there—and your fabulous flowers too! RSVP here.
This is a perfect option for condo dwellers or anyone without many trees at home—your orchids will love their new setup, and you’ll love how they look!
We suggest a $15 donation at the door, or feel free to Zelle it in advance to: miamibeachorchidsociety@gmail.com RSVP here.
We’ll provide all the potting materials you need—fresh medium, fertilizer and expert guidance. You bring your orchids, tools, and the pots, and we’ll help you repot them properly to keep them healthy and thriving through the seasons.
This is a great way to learn proper techniques, ask questions, and connect with fellow orchid lovers in a fun, supportive environment.
We suggest a $15 donation at the door to help cover the cost of materials. You can pay at the door or Zelle it in advance: miamibeachorchidsociety@gmail.com RSVP here.
Get ready to dive into the fascinating world of orchid propagation with our orchid deflasking workshop, led by the always delightful Lady Vanda. If you’ve ever wanted to grow your own orchids from the very beginning, this is your chance!
You’ll receive your very own orchid plantlets—also known as “orchid babies”—fresh out of the flask and ready for life in the real world. Last year’s workshop was such a hit that we had to bring it back!
If you joined us last year and your plantlets survived the journey, bring them in for a special show and tell moment—we’d love to see how they’ve grown.
Every participant will leave with an assortment of plantlets to take home and nurture. It’s a fun, hands-on experience perfect for all levels of orchid enthusiasts.
Workshop cost: $35 – pay at the door or Zelle in advance to miamibeachorchidsociety@gmail.com. RSVP here.
6:30 pm-8:00 pm
We hope you will join us!
Thank you to our Partners
