Event Details
Join us for our October meeting where Sarah Hurdel of Needmore Orchids (Washington, DC) will present on “Habenaria – Best in Show!” Learn about these often misunderstood, yet surprisingly easy to grow terrestrial orchids. Our speaker provides an introduction to Habenaria species, hybrids and closely related genera, and expert advice on how to grow them. Her presentations combine her love of orchids, photography, and illustration with experienced advice and a sense of humor.
Roehampton Orchids (Toronto) will be joining us at the meeting. Don’t miss this opportunity to increase your collection.
The meeting will be a hybrid meeting. We will have the usual Show Table, raffle and refreshments with a longer break to accommodate our “Growing Together” sessions and provide opportunity to visit our “Ask Me Anything” experts and Roehampton Orchids. Members, please bring your plants to the show table by 1:40 pm to allow time for judging.
