Orchid Exhibitions in Ho Chi Minh City |
| In Viet Nam, they don't have a society specialized in orchids yet. But they have the big society for hobbyists in orchids, fishes, birds, dancing etc. The members are over 2000, I hard. Some members in this society and love orchids exhibit orchids in the open area in Ho Chi Minh city every month. They like hybrids of Cat and Vanda. But it is very difficult to grow Cat hybrids in good condition, I hard. Because the temperature is too high. |

| I visited the show on the end of Dec. 97'. The were preparing the exhibition. As I had to go back to Ha Noi in the same day, I could not attend the show on the opening in the next day. I'm sorry.... But it should be good because I could see Mrs Yen, beautiful lady. |

| In Viet Nam, there are many kinds of orchids. But the hobbyist in Ho Chi Minh city love hybrids. Under the tropical strong sunshine, the colorful and bigger flowers should be better. |
