How everything began
The Austrian Orchid Society was founded in 1949. Back then the acquisition and culture of orchids was only possible for an elite small group of people. Orchids were expensive and you could only get them from other collectors or acquire some at orchid shows. Passionate collectors wanted to share their love for growing orchids with a wider public and therefore they founded the Austrian Orchid Society. In the year 2006 the Vienna Orchid Society was founded as a regional, independent group within the Austrian Orchid Society.
