President’s Message
Welcome
to Spring!
I hope everyone has their
orchid pest problems under control after last month’s fascinating lecture. I
know I found it very interesting as did many others.
April will bring Glenn Decker
and a lecture on Phragmipedium. It promises to be great. Later in the month
there will be another of the Twilight lecture series at ODU, the details can be
found on our website. Meanwhile Arthur Kaplan and George Heuser have been
getting ready for our purchased plant auction. Start telling your friends and
save your money so that we have a great auction.
Thanks again to Dave and
Joanne Bryan and all those who helped with the Richmond Show. Congratulations to
all the award winners. We look forward to many more shows in the coming years.
See
you in April,Thanks
