US: Orchids from ‘best growers’ to be sold at Kansas club’s show

If you attended the old Wichita Garden Show, you remember the tables of colorful orchids that the Kansas Orchid Society used to have for sale at Century II.

The sale will return in a new forum this year, at the fall orchid show next weekend at Botanica. At past shows, vendors from other places used to come in and sell orchids. But now, “we’re going to have our own sales, with lots of different things that you won’t find available in the box stores, where people go a lot of times,” the society’s president, Karlene Sanborn, said. Proceeds from the sale will support the orchid society, which supports Botanica and orchid-conservation efforts.

“We go out and buy all the plants from some of the best growers in the United States,” said Sanborn, who herself owns Prairie Orchids in El Dorado.
