The last time Jay Norris addressed our group, it was to discuss how he uses cases for growing orchids that require a cool environment. His talk inspired a lot of questions and comments. On August 16, Jay will describe the opposite situation: how he uses cases to create a tropical paradise for orchids that grow better in warmer conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay Norris\u00a0has been passionate about orchids for over four decades, a journey that began with his father\u2019s spare divisions and blossomed into a lifelong obsession. Through years of both triumphs and trials, Jay has honed his expertise, ultimately gravitating toward the captivating world of miniature orchids and species from various genera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1992, Jay has been a dedicated member of the Toronto Judging Centre of the American Orchid Society, where he now serves as a Senior Accredited Judge. His keen eye for detail extends beyond judging; he is also an award-winning photographer, capturing the intricate beauty of these fascinating plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to his judging and photographic pursuits, Jay is a key figure in Ravenvision, alongside Robin McLaughlin and Max Wilson. Together, they provide Canadian orchid enthusiasts from coast to coast to coast with the essential supplies needed to cultivate and care for their orchids. Jay will have a sales table at the meeting and will accept pre-orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
