Western Suburbs Orchid Society (WSOS) of Sydney meets from 7pm for an 7:45pm start on the third Monday of each month at the Uniting Church Hall, 11 Carrington Avenue, Strathfield, Sydney. Everyone is welcome whether you're a beginner or an expert.
We're a friendly crowd and discuss everything related to orchids, with different events each month. Members bring their flowering orchids and enter them in the monthly benching competition. See the Gallery page for the President's picks from last month's entries. Our larger gallery of all the photos we've ever taken is located at: Western Suburbs Orchid Society | Flickr and is updated regularly. We publish a monthly bulletin for members via email.
