Who We Are?
About us
The Species Orchid Society of WA Inc. was formed by a group of eleven orchid growers in March 1988. The members engaged in general discussion about the possible aims and objectives of the society and how it would operate and provide benefits to members.
The Society engages in shows, home visits and monthly meetings for all members to view and discuss species orchids.
Our Society’s logo is the Western Australian terrestrial Donkey Orchid, Diuris longifolia
Our core values
- To advance, encourage, foster and promote interest in the natural history and culture of species orchids
