The theme of the 58th annual Pacific Orchid Exposition is Carnaval – a riot of color, form and fragrance. More than 150,000 orchid flowers from all over the globe will be on view, in addition to educational exhibits from local, national and international orchid growers. Professional and amateur growers, as well as orchid societies, will be displaying their unique species and rare hybrids – here’s your chance to purchase a one-of-a-kind treasure!

The San Francisco Orchid Society will award its $5,000 scholarship to one lucky horticultural student from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. In addition to the scholarship presentation, the Gala Night will also feature live music, hors d’oeuvres, a silent auction, and wine tasting from over 20 of the Bay Area’s premier wineries.
