Chase away the winter blues
Escape the winter blues and join orchid enthusiasts at Orchid Quest 2010. Exhibits of exotic and deliciously fragrant orchid flowers will awaken your senses and bring cheers on a winter day. In addition to many orchid exhibits, OQ will also feature florist displays, painted porcelain, art work, quilted banners and a raffle. OQ is one of the largest orchid shows and sales in the Midwest.
Aspiring home growers can expand their knowledge by attending orchid related educational seminars, conducted by renowned orchid experts.
