orchids we grow
Southern California
orchid growers are blessed with (mostly) moderate temperatures throughout the
year, allowing many orchids to be grown outdoors. In fact, fully 40% of OSSC
members don't have a greenhouse! The photos on these pages are all examples of
plants that have been grown in Southern California, both in and out of
greenhouses, and come from the
OSSC flickr group,
which is open to all Southern California orchid enthusiasts. By default, the
"most interesting" photos are presented first. (Note: the degree of
"interestingness" is determined by flickr's proprietary methodology.)
