These are the Orchid shows we know are happening in Queensland and Northern New South Wales this year.  

Show details which have been confirmed with BOS have the show details highlighted.   All other shows should be confirmed by contacting the society for the show before using this information.  (Society contact details are available on the societies page.)

If you know of any other shows or would like to confirm your show details as correct, please send us the details via E-mail.

Unless otherwise stated, these are open shows, therefore anyone can bench orchids.  (Some societies do not accept entries from commercial growers, so commercial growers should check the entry conditions directly with the society.)  The time for acceptance of plant benching is listed when known.
