The club’s Autumn Festival of Orchids will feature exhibitions from more than 20 of its members, as well as from two Melbourne commercial growers.

President Chris Ibbotson said autumn was typically the season for only certain varieties of orchids to flower.

“There is the odd cymbidium in flower at this time, but mainly you’ll get to see some vandas, phalaenopsis and oncidiums,” Mrs Ibbotson said.

“Your native orchids also flower mainly at this time of year.”

The show will have plants for sale and will feature seasoned growers giving advice.

“We will have experts re-potting plants and we will play to the crowd sizes to do the talks,” Mrs Ibbotson said.

The Autumn Festival of Orchids will be held at the Kialla Paceway, 7580 Goulburn Valley Hwy, Kialla West.

Gates open at 9am on Saturday, May 20 and 10am on Sunday, May 21.
