Thank you to all members who provided plants and to everyone who helped with the setup and/or teardown of our display.  We had a good turn out for this show.  Anyone who has been thinking about participating in the show circuit should jump in.  There is always room for you to help and learn the ropes.

 

We also have had more society member owned plants awarded by the American Orchid Society at the Great Lakes Judging Center.
