Orchid show a hit with residents

The East Rand Orchid Society hosted its Autumn Show last weekend at the Edenvale Community Centre.

The event attracted orchid enthusiasts from all over Gauteng, including the Joburg East areas.

Orchid lovers from in and around the East Rand came out in large numbers to attend the show, during which different species of orchids were displayed.

The society has two Orchid shows every year; one in autumn and another in spring.

Members enter a competition on the Thursday and the plants receive awards. The plants are then placed on display from Friday to Sunday.

A wide variety of orchids were on sale to the public.

Re-potting demonstrations were also held during the shows.
