Thanks Mick: Someone pointed out to me that the AOS designated April as
National Orchid Month. Missed that.

Charles VanDyke

On April 7, 2001, the Society celebrated its 80-year anniversary. To
commemorate this
milestone, the AOS officially proclaimed April as National Orchid Month.
The primary objective
of the designation is to recognize the popularity of orchids and to raise
awareness nationally of
orchids and the burgeoning hobby.
