How to Dispose of a Large Number of Orchids

[Ross]

When my Dad went into an assited living situation, my sister who lives nearby, took control of his orchids (many of which had not been repotted, like ever.) So I would look locally for help, if possible. Maybe there is a family member with at least a bit of plant knowledge and concern?

My aunt knows a little about how to care for them, but she has no interest in taking more than a few. My mother lives in KY, and has only a small interest. I live in VA, and I am very interested in orchids, but not in a horde of NOIDS I have to ship from CA, many of which are exactly the colors and types that don't interest me. I have a cousin there, but I'm pretty sure he is not interested. For family, that's about it. So, they are going to have to go outside the family . . . the issue is where.

local orchid societies perhaps?

That was my thought, but would they be likely to take them?
