Member Magazine “Die Orchidee”

Issue 2-2025 is here – and the special issue 2025 evaluation!

This year, we are once again presenting the “Orchid of the Year”, chosen by the executive committees of the Native Orchid Working Groups (AHO) – Platanthera chlorantha, the green forest hyacinth.

In addition, issue 2 of our member magazine offers many other interesting articles on the subject of orchids – from travel reports to helpful and practical cultivation tips, everything is included. We also present the “Orchids for Future” poster competition, which the German Orchid Society is organizing as part of the 2026 World Orchid Conference for pupils from German UNESCO project schools in order to arouse children’s interest in orchids and nature conservation.

Take a look at our sample article on “Wild orchids in Bangladesh”.

A sample of the special issue on judging is also available for viewing.

All members of the German Orchid Society receive 6 issues of our magazine “Die Orchidee” and the special issue “Bewertung” free of charge every year. Simply fill out the membership application form here.

“Die Orchidee” is the bimonthly publication of the German Orchid Society, which all members of the Society receive. It contains articles on all topics related to orchids and is one of the most renowned publications in this field in the world. Those who are interested will find detailed travel reports from the natural habitats of orchids with high-quality site photographs, field reports on new cultivation methods, but also news from the taxonomy of orchids in our magazine. Furthermore, the “Pages for Beginners” offer practical tips and tricks for newcomers, which are also readily accepted by experienced orchid lovers. If you want to get an overview of our magazine, you can browse through the table of contents of the years in which all articles are listed.

In addition, we offer you the opportunity to read a sample of a complete issue online. (Attention, this is a very large file with approx. 17 MB. This is due to the high number of images and cannot be reduced!)
