Gulf Coast Orchid Show & Plant Sale

Hundreds of otherworldly blooms will be on display at the annual Gulf Coast Orchid Society show and sale, including leafless orchids that consist only of roots and flowers, plants with huge spikes of flowers, and minuscule flowers best viewed with a magnifying glass. Many orchids feature fragrances to attract their pollinators, so visitors can also expect the aromas of chocolate, grape, and other sweet or spicy smells. This show promises spectacular exhibits presented by commercial dealers, orchid societies from Mississippi and across the country. 10 am–6 pm Friday and Saturday, 10 am–4 pm Sunday at the Gautier Convention Center, 2012 Library Lane.
