About Houston Orchid Society

The Houston Orchid Society is a group of orchid lovers dedicated to the conservation and preservation of orchids and their habitats and education about orchids and their culture. We meet the first Thursday of each month at 7:30pm at First Christian Church, 1601 Sunset Boulevard, Houston.

Along with our monthly meetings, we have an annual show in the spring, a workshop in the summer, a holiday party in December and often several orchid auctions per year. All the events are great ways to convene with other orchid lovers, acquire new plants, and learn how to grow these amazing plants. Bring the kids and grandkids so that you can share and learn together. Welcome!
