Description

On February 23-26, 2012, the San Francisco Orchid Society’s 60th annual Pacific Orchid Exposition will coincide with the 75th anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.

The event opens on Thursday, February 23th with the highly anticipated Gala Benefit Preview night, which offers wine tasting from some of the Bay Area’s premiere wineries. The evening includes live music, delicious hors d’oeuvres, and a fabulous silent auction.

The Pacific Orchid Exposition is the largest orchid show in the country and is aptly named for the extraordinary, lush displays of organic beauty that are showcased every year. The event boasts more than 150,000 orchid flowers from all over the world and offers educational exhibits from local, national and international orchid growers.

Each day, docent tours and cultivation tips are given to visitors as they peruse the chromatic wonderland of orchids. Professional and amateur growers, as well as orchid societies, will be displaying their unique orchids and rare hybrids, allowing any nature lover the chance to purchase a one-of-a-kind treasure.
