The Oregon Orchid Society is putting on a day of classes and lectures at the Lan Su Garden focusing specifically on Chinese orchids.
One translation of the name “Lan Su” is “garden of awakening orchids”. Orchids are symbolically important in Chinese culture, and specifically for our own classical Chinese garden, Lan Su. But best of all, they are fascinating and sometimes surprisingly cold-hardy plants with intricately patterned flowers and some of the most unique and subtle coloration of all orchids. There will also be a wide array of exquisite Chinese species on display at the show.
