Sunday, January 26, 2020, 9:00 am to 10:00 am



The St. Paul Winter Carnival Orchid Show will bloom again January 25 and 26 at the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory. King Boreas’ favorite flower show is also a must-see for orchid enthusiasts from around the midwest. Combining the best of Como’s own orchid collection with the brightest blooms from members of The Orchid Society of Minnesota, this judging event for the American Orchid Society is the largest annual display of privately held plants in the region.
Como Friends Members and Donors are invited to join us from 9:00 am – 10:00 am on Sunday, January 26th for a free viewing of the Orchid Show as a Special Access Event for Como Friends’ supporters. Enjoy refreshments, view the award-winning orchids, and chat with orchid experts from the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and the Orchid Society of Minnesota.
Please RSVP by emailing comomembership@comofriends.org or calling 651-487-8229.
For members of the public, the Winter Carnival Orchid Show is $5 and open 10am-4pm January 25 and 26. Como Friends members or visitors with a Winter Carnival button receive $1 off admission.
