The May meeting will feature “Ten Orchids You Should Own”, a program that evolved from discussions with orchid professionals and hobbyists. There will be something for new growers as well as long time hobbyists so we hope to see you there.
Carol Holdren is a long time orchid lover with a history of willing participation in the affairs and activities of orchid societies. She bought a purple Vanda at a local botanical garden show. That plant led to several others, as well as a membership and participation in the local orchid society. As her collection grew she and some of her orchid friends took a class in Orchidology at the University of Florida. Carol also began attending the West Palm Beach Judging Center and became an accredited judge in 2003. She is presently Vice-Chair of the West Palm Beach Judging Center. Carol is also a director of the International Orchid Foundation whose free web site is orchids.org .
The program starts at 7:30 p.m.
