Welcome
to the internet home of
Prairie State Orchid Society
Centered
around Springfield, Illinois, we are a group of orchid lovers who meet regularly
to discuss, enjoy, learn about and indulge our passion for orchids. Our members include some experts and knowledgeable growers to those who are beginners to orchid care and growing
What we all have in
common is a love for these beautiful plants and a desire to share our
enthusiasm.
We invite you to join us at our monthly meetings on the third Friday of the month (7 pm) . Our New Meeting location for 2020 is:
Springfield Ceramic and Craft Club

All meetings of the Praire State Orchid Society will be cancelled through the Month of June. We will resume regular society activities once there is more direction from the CDC.

Orchids in the Classroom
Earlier this year, one of our members, Doug Daugherty, introduced Orchids in his classroom at Jefferson Middle School. Another one of our members, Mitzi Vasconcelles was generous enough to donate some orchids to Mr. Daugherty's classroom. Click here to see one of the donated orchids in bloom.
