Exotic orchids in a variety of species and colors will be on display and available for purchase both days. The Central Iowa Orchid Society will also staff a question and answer booth, providing novices and experienced growers a chance to interact with others who "speak the language of orchids."

The event's education program includes an "Orchid Care 101" talk and workshop led by Tom Hillson, a discussion of "Native Orchids" with Carson Whitlow, and an informative session on "Growing Under Lights" presented by Doc Bannister. Each program will be presented on both days, and free with admission.
