Hello Anu and everyone,
The 21st World Orchid Conference is o be held in Johannesburg South Africa from 10 to 14 September this year where the theme for the conference and show is "Orchids: Gold in the Green Age"
As you know much of our history for the city is based on gold and as everyone knows, conservation and a green world is what all aspire to.
Orchid growing in South Africa is a very active past-time (if that ids a strong enough word to describe the collecting and growing and all and all) and there are many clubs and societies that hold shows fairly regularly. Many orchid species are protected in this country and it is illegal to remove a plant from its natural habitat.
Anyway, I will keep you all updated on more events that come up and will do more to represent South Africa on this forum.
Cheers now
