  1. Hats off to the Organising committee Toskar for making the Orchid Show a grand success – It was a wonderful sight to see so may orchids in bloom on display . Thank you

  2. The orchid show 2014 was best compared to many that came and went. It was nicely planned and well executed. What was mlssing was the absence of identification tag on the specimens displayed.
