The Society meets at 7:30pm on the second Thursday of each month at the Safe Schools Institute located at 1790 NW Spanish River Blvd, Boca Raton, FL 33433.
All orchid lovers are welcome to attend our meetings, check out what is happening and meet our members. Everyone is welcome, no experience necessary – just an appreciation of the fantastic variety of the world of orchids and a desire to learn more!
Next Meeting: Thursday, August 14, 2025 @ 7:30 PM
Program: Orchid Q & A for Members
Presenter: BROS Members
We’re going to have an evening of questions from our members, answered by some of our more experienced members. Does one of your plants seem to have a mystery disease, or insect infestation? Please do not bring in the whole plant, because we do not want to spread problems. Instead, break off one of the diseased or infested leaves, and seal it in a plastic bag so we can help you identify the problem and perhaps suggest some solutions. Do you have a mystery orchid that finally bloomed? Bring in a photo of the orchid in bloom and we will do our best to help identify at least the genus of the orchid. Do you have a more general question about which orchids can be grown successfully in South Florida? And which orchids cannot? C’mon down! All questions are important, so please don’t be shy! We can all learn a lot from each other.

Our Orchid Society
The Boca Raton Orchid Society began in 1989 with just 27 members. Since then, the Society has grown tremendously and now has a membership of more than 140 members. Our subtropical climate is perfect for growing an astounding variety of warm to intermediate temperature orchids in Palm Beach County. Each year our members enjoy several fun-filled orchid events, including an Awards meeting in December and the highlight event, our Annual Valentines Show & Sale scheduled for February 14 - 15, 2026.
