Coastal Carolina Orchid Society

Welcome!

The Coastal Carolina Orchid Society is an educational nonprofit organization affiliated with the American Orchid Society. We give people in the Charleston, South Carolina area who are interested in orchids an opportunity to learn more about orchids and a place to interact with other orchid enthusiasts.

Originally chartered in 1977, our society was reorganized in February 1996, after being inactive for several years. CCOS is a 501(3)(c) not-for-profit organization.
