Head on over to the Domes on the weekend of September 17^th and 18^th between 9 to 5 for the Fall in Love with Orchids, 2011 show at the Domes (Mitchell Park Conservatory). The show will be held in the Show Dome, and is produced conjunction with the Fall 2011 Mid-America Orchid Congress.

Admission to the Show is free, but regular Domes admission applies

Along with award winning exhibits of flowering orchid plants, you’ll browse through pottery, photographs and other orchid related items. Wisconsin Orchid Society members will be on hand to answer questions and give informative talks. The show also features videos on orchid topics, as well as several raffles from which you may win a plant or two.

The good news is that you can purchase many of the items (or similar ones) either at the show’s sales areas, or through the vendors themselves. In fact, if you know what you want ahead of time, (or if you go to a vendor site for a peek) you can contact the vendor directly and have them meet you at the show with it.

Go ahead, use the brilliances of what you see at Fall in Love with Orchids 2011 to help you make inspired purchases for your home or garden.
