The XIII OrquidaRio Orchid
Show took place September 9 through 12, and for the third time, the Nova América
Outlet Shopping has been chosen to seat this event. The show gathered 10.000 orchids
from hobbyist growers and commercial nurseries in an area of 500m2. The entrance
was free and the event included show, free lotteries, trophies, sales area and
lectures about orchid cultivation. Besides, as in previous years, there were a
contest of botanical illustration and a display of pieces of hand-painted porcelain,
which theme were the orchids.
Almost 100.000 attendees have been registered during the four days of show confirming
the success of the exhibition and the corrected decision of choosing this place.
