Gilberto is a long time orchid grower and &#8220;self-confessed fan of Cattleyas and Catasetinae (especially Mormodes)&#8221;. Motivated by his love of these plants and the &#8220;over 180 years of confusion in species identification, Gilberto has done a very extensive research project on the genus Mormodes. In so doing, he has developed a multi-part presentation of the many species (more than 80 at last count) &#8211; even noting that a considerable number of flowers and plants have been incorrectly identified.\u00a0 Gilberto has posted numerous pictures of Mormodes species online, several of these on the site www.orchidspecies.com . Among his many achievements, Gilberto has garnered a number of AOS awards for flower quality in his favourite plants.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The meeting will take place in Room 5, Royal Botanical Gardens, 680 Plains Road W., Burlington, ON.
