The speaker at our November meeting will be Ed Cott. Ed is a retired accountant and college professor and has been growing orchids for about 40 years. He is an AOS accredited judge and operates a small orchid business, Orchid Arbour. He has an affinity for Cattleyas and Catasetinae. His topic for the meeting is “An interactive review of the 2024 AOS Special Awards.” As Ed is also a talented photographer who is frequently seen doing the official photographs of awarded orchids, we can expect to see exceptional photographs of magnificent blooms. Ed will also be bringing a selection of his orchids for sale.

As is customary, the meeting will take place at RBG Headquarters, 680 Plains Road West in Burlington, in Room 5 (subject to confirmation). The formal meeting starts at 2 pm but you are invited to arrive as early as 1:30 to socialize and interact with vendors. Bring your beautiful orchids in bloom for the Show Table and any orchids or related paraphernalia for the raffle. Members and guests welcome.
