Orchid show in bloom

Hundreds of species of orchids are on display this weekend at the Newport Harbor Orchid Society’s annual Oceans of Orchids show and sale at the Westminster Mall.

Most of the orchids and hybrid plants on display at the event thrive outdoors in Southern California, organizers said.

This year’s show also features repotting classes and free culture workshops.

The free event continues 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. today.
