Orchid novices are encouraged to come to the meeting at 1 p.m. to hear members of the San-Cap Orchid Society discuss “Summer Care of Orchids.” Participants are encouraged to come early to purchase orchids or to do so during intermission. Anyone with questions or an “ill orchid” that needs diagnosis can bring their plants to the meeting during Show-and-Tell. Orchid Society members are invited to participate in a monthly show. Ribbons are awarded for best Hybrid and best Species Orchids. Members and guests are also invited to participate in a monthly orchid raffle. Society membership is $20 annually while guests may attend the meeting for a fee of $4.
