Our February meeting, taking place via Zoom (as has become the norm) is a joint meeting with the Central Ontario Orchid Society (COOS) and the featured speaker will be Jason Fischer of Orchids Limited. His topic is one on which he is an acknowledged expert: Phragmipediums.

The meeting is set to begin at 2 pm. Those who wish to do so may sign on a bit earlier (1:30 or later) to socialize. Members with plants for the Virtual Show Table should send their photos by 6 pm on Friday February 19 to Rob Vanderheyden at OrchidataOSRBG@gmail.com.

Zoom invitations will be sent out to members the week before the meeting. Non-members who may wish to attend should contact Rob at the address above.

Our January 17th OSRBG meeting will feature glimpses into how some of our members grow orchids. Linda Will, Daniel Scher, Sandra Micucci, Wendy Hearder-Moan, and Rob Vanderheyden will present about how they grow the orchids in their collections, with photos and commentary. There will be time with each presentation to ask questions. As usual, we will have our Virtual Orchid Show Table. If you have orchids blooming now, send photos with identifying information (and how you grow, if you like) to Rob at orchidataosrbg@gmail.com by 7 p.m. on Friday January 15th. As has become customary, the meeting will take place via Zoom, with an invitation being sent to members a week or so in advance. The formal meeting starts at 2 pm and Rob will “open the doors” around 1:30 for those who wish to sign on early to socialize.
