AOS Centennial Celebration

From our founding in 1921, the AOS has been the go-to resource for orchid growers of all stripes. Many members are hobbyists who enjoy growing orchids and want to learn more about them. Others enjoy the thrill of exhibiting their orchids in shows hosted by local orchid societies. And still, others aspire to become an orchid judge. Many are interested in the latest hybridizing trends, others in protecting orchids in the wild, and still others in research that advances orchidology.

From our award-winning Orchids magazine to the well-attended educational Webinars about all things orchid... from the expert speakers and outstanding vendors at the popular AOS members meeting to the highly respected system for awarding orchids of superior quality... from our conservation initiatives support to our research projects sponsorship... the AOS is the connecting place for people whose common interest is the orchid.

The Board of Trustees and the Centennial Celebration Committee look forward to welcoming you to this momentous event and its Fall Members Meeting activities.

Join us at the beautiful landmark location - The Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, Florida, for days of camaraderie, orchids, and jubilee as we reminisce about our past and aim forward to the next 100 years!
