2022 Hilo Orchid Society
68th Orchid Show and Sale
"Orchid Ohana"
Welcome
ALOHA and E Komo Mai. This year’s show theme is "Orchid Ohana: blending beauty and aloha." You'll see beautiful orchid exhibits displaying rare exotic species, as well as the latest hybrids, and beautifully grown specimen plants. There will also be informative orchid demonstrations and the opportunity to purchase that special orchid plant from our many knowledgeable Big Island orchid vendors.
The Hilo Orchid Society is so grateful to our local Hawai’i Island orchid growers, Orchid Society members and many amateur creative designers who came together to create such a range of outstanding displays and astonishing exhibits for you this year.
Putting on the largest orchid show in the state is a big endeavor that wouldn’t be possible without the many dedicated volunteers who contributed their time, talent and efforts toward making this show a success. We’re very appreciative of the tremendous show committee, who worked tirelessly to make it happen.
Mahalo and enjoy this year’s show.
