growers in mind, he will offer various solutions for problem plants.

About us
​Come join us this month VIRTUALLY to hear this excellent speaker through ZOOM.  Instructions on how to access the meeting will be provided to MOS Members just before the meeting.
​We are an ​award winning, volunteer run, 501(c) (3) non-profit organization formed in the spring of 1963 to develop interest in orchids; to aid and assist members with orchid growing and culture; and to provide educational information, which shall benefit its members and the community.

During non-Covid times, we meet at 7pm on the third Tuesday of every month (except for December and August when no meetings are held), at the Pacific Palisades Woman's Club, 901 Haverford Ave.  

At each meeting members benefit from expert speakers who present illustrated talks on various orchid genera and their culture.  Members display orchids for ribbon judging each month and share tips on how their plants are grown.  The Society also holds a silent plant auction as well as a raffle table for orchids.  Upcoming events are announced and fellow orchid enthusiasts consult with each other on the culture of various orchid species.
