New to Orchids?
- Intimidated by all those Latin names?
- Suffering the angst of spending money on some expensive beauties you’ve seen but know little about?
- Proudly grown a fine flowering specimen for a year or so, only to watch it inexplicably decline or never reflower?
Orchid growing can be the horticultural “school of hard knocks” and that is why discussion with experienced growers in an orchid society is the most effective path to success. Why not attend one of our regular meetings by checking the Calendar of Events.
Enjoy and we hope to meet you some day!
