ORCHIDS, ORCHIDS, AND MORE ORCHIDS!!!!
An organization of orchid societies dedicated to the preservation of orchids
We are an organization dedicated to the preservation of orchids in their natural habitats, the propagation of orchids by seed and cuttings, the development of new and better plants through breeding, and providing information to growers who subscribe to our principles.
Since 1949, the MAOC has sponsored six North American Judging Centers, and supported regional orchid shows of our member Societies.
The purpose of the Congress is to effect relationships among the Orchid Societies in Mid-North America and Canada by meetings advancing the knowledge and appreciation of orchids.
