Who Are We?

The New Hampshire Orchid Society was organized in 1983 and currently has over 200 members.

The Society offers monthly meetings, an annual picnic, an annual orchid show, and many other special events that provide opportunities for members to learn about orchids.

We publish a monthly newsletter which is sent to all members and have an orchid library of books and videos from which all members may borrow.

Our July Speaker is Dr. Kristen Uthus

The topic will be "Japanese Orchids: The Small and Mighty".

Japanese orchids are not typical in the orchid world as they are often collected for their leaves rather than their flowers. She will speak about what makes Japanese orchids stand out in a crowd, what influences their price tags, and why Neofinetia falcata may be the easiest of all orchids to grow.

See our event page for information on how to preorder plants and get a 10% discount on your purchase.

Please have your plants on the show table by 11 a.m.

Lunch is potluck so please consider bringing a dish to share if you are able to.
