The Swiss Orchid Society (SOS-Short Portrait) is the governing body for the 11 regional groups in Switzerland. It maintains regular contacts with orchid societies in other countries.

Membership of the SOS is open to all. Every autumn (fall), the SOS organizes a plant exchange meeting, followed by a lecture and discussion. The annualy members-meeting is everytime joint with an interesting lecture as well. In addition, a plant judgement session is held once every month, giving members the opportunity to have their plant entries judged by well qualified professionals. At present the Society consists of about 800 subscribing members. Subscriptions are currently fixed at CHF 25.- for a single member and CHF 35.- for couples.

The SOS also subscribes to such specialized periodicals as 'Die Orchidee', 'Journal für den Orchideenfreund' , 'L'Orchidée' and 'L'Orchidophile'. These invariably include detailed comment on subjects of current interest, together with advice on cultivation, as well as being a source of reference for the procurement of materials such as plants and growing accessories.
