Meeting:

 

I need to offer my apologies for the last minute delivery of the newsletter.  It seems that I only scheduled it for a year in my calendar.  Because I did not have it scheduled, it was nearly forgotten.

 

Alex is an AOS judge & life member.  He has a MS in Botany from the University of Michigan, and is the newsletter editor for the Ann Arbor Orchid Society where he writes a monthly species column.

 

He is now working for New World Orchids, growing primarily species from the Andes.   Many genera Including Pleurothallis, Phragmipedium, Maxillaria, etc.  Has worked for two other species-oriented nurseries in the past - Great Lakes Orchids & Hoosier Orchids.

 

People can pre-order by Thursday March 1.  Check out http://sites.netscape.net/newworldorchids/nwo.htm                                                                                                                                                           

 

Special display:

If possible, bring orchids to be displayed in the retirement home.  They will be displayed after the Sunday meeting and returned late Wednesday or Thursday.
