Join us at our January meeting to hear Deb Boersma speak on the genus Tolumnia.  She has won many prizes for her beautiful Tolumnia (and other orchids) and will fill us in on some of the interesting features of this species, sharing her special tips for producing exceptional plants. Deb grows about 500 orchids in her own greenhouse.  Deb is a recently retired chemistry teacher from St Clair College in Windsor, a very busy American Orchid Society (AOS) Trustee who is chair of the AOS Membership Committee. She is the instigator and developer of the AOS Gift a Youth program which now has over 15 students enrolled.
