Welcome to the Batavia Orchid Society’s Photo Contest!
We are looking for the best orchid photo taken at our annual show. The photo must have an orchid flower in the picture, other than that it’s up to you. You may choose to submit picture of a single flower, someone holding a plant (from our vendors’ tables), an orchid exhibit, or single plant, etc. Handling or touching any of the Orchids in the exhibits is forbidden, so please make do with the position of the flowers (The Orchids and their flowers are extremely delicate and we do not want to be sending damaged plants/flowers back home to their owners).
