Heart O' Texas Orchid Society

So many orchids. . . so little time. . .

Jessica Robertson, Jennifer Bird and Monica Gaylord prepare HO'TOS Exhibit for the show.

Thanks to Geoff Frost, Mike Gurjack and all our members and friends who helped us create another successful orchid show!
More Show Photos in the Gallery!

Dear Members:

Remember our June Meeting is at Monica's House and NOT AT ZILKER!
Member Directories are now available. Please remember to pick one up at our next meeting.
Please Note: HO'TOS is not having a Greenhouse Tour this spring. We will be scheduling a fall tour this year. We will keep you posted!
Don't forget to send in photos of your blooming orchids so we can post them in our photo gallery. You can e-mail any photo in jpeg format to webmaster@hotos.org.
