May Meeting

Our May meeting is the Friday of Memorial day weekend, and as such it is a perfect time to start the summer planning and growing season for fall and winter flowers. To start us thinking about new orchid possibilities, this month we'll have Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids as our speaker. He'll be talking about smaller orchids that can be grown in intermediate conditions and can compliment mini-cats. If you're like many of us, space is at a premium and small is good, so this will be an opportunity learn about more varieties of small growing orchids.

Next Month: Steve Beckendorf on Odontoglossums
