The information below only pertains to registered members of the Ottawa Orchid Society. Become a member to participate in the Annual Show.

There are 3 main opportunities for members to participate in the show.

Exhibit your orchid

There are two types of exhibit opportunities for members at the show.

  • The collective Ottawa Orchid Society display

You can register your plant(s) as part of the Ottawa Orchid Society display, along with other members.

You will need to send the name of your plant(s) and prepare them as requested. Please deliver them to the Show Table on Friday, April 26 and pick them up on Sunday, April 28 at the times requested.

Instructions will be shared in the March Spike or via your membership email.

  • Individual display

Members are invited to create an education display, a photography display (up to 3 photos) or a display of their blooming orchids, separate from the OOS display.

You can do this individually or in a team with other OOS members. See our guidelines on how to prepare your orchids for display.

The Exhibit Application form and more details will be sent by email to members. The form must be completed and submitted by email by March 15, 2024.

Details on how to register your plants will be sent and must be completed the week before the show. You will be able to set up your display between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Friday, April 26.

Sell your orchids

You can sell up to 25 plants on our Membership Sales Table. Plants must be healthy and pest-free.

You must fill out a form and list the plants you wish to sell. Please provide the full name and price for each plant. All prices must be in dollars (no cents).

Plants should have two tags, one with the name of the plant and one with your name and the number from your form. If possible, include a picture of the flower.

The Ottawa Orchid Society will retain 10% of the sales collected. Bring your plants to the Membership Sales Table between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Friday, April 26. More details are available in Spike and by email.
