What We Do

The Australasian Native Orchid Society Inc. is the major organisation promoting the understanding and appreciation of orchids growing naturally in our region of the world – Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and the adjacent western Pacific. We focus on a number of areas including

  • conservation
  • research
  • breeding of species and hybrids
  • culture
  • shows
  • displays and judging
  • photography
  • learning about the Australian flora and environment
  • field excursions.

ANOS Inc. itself does not hold monthly meetings, orchid shows, bush walks or other member events. These events are provided by our affiliated ANOS groups and you should join your local ANOS group for these events.
