The orchid show schedule really picks up this month, as milder weather makes orchid handling easier. Large shows abound in Santa Barbara, Philadelphia, San Diego, Montreal, Bangkok, Maui, Miami, and Taiwan. But there are also lots of great smaller shows in areas less well-known for orchids, like Boise, Winnipeg, and Tucson.
