WELCOME

We are so glad you decided to stop by for a visit. The Houston Orchid Society has been in existence in Houston since 1945. Through the years we have become a vibrant family of orchid lovers dedicated to the preservation of orchids in their natural habitats and the education of the public.

The annual HOS show was held in April at the Houston Museum of Natural Science and was a tremendous success.   Many other events are planned for this year and the speaker lineup for this year is exceptional.  If you want to learn about orchid culture or add plants to your collection, the  HOS monthly meetings are sure to please.

The Houston Orchid Society offers special programs to fit your level of orchid growing.  The Newcomers Group offers basic growing tips and the Intermediate Group selects  topics of interest to the group for more in depth studies. 

Accept this invitation to come partake in the enjoyment of the beautiful, the odd, fragrant, and varied world of orchids.  Welcome to the Houston Orchid Society web site and the orchid community.

Barry Jones

Latouria Dendrobiums

Barry will be talking about the novelty Dendrobiums that have gained popularity recently, the Latourias. The Dendrobiums generally grow in a compact habit and take fairly bright light and thus make them very ideal to window sill growing. Furthermore, they posses flower longevities that can compare to of the blooms of the phalaenopsis orchids. Barry will be bringing with him plants to sell, everybody should come and learn more about Latourias and then try growing them!!!
