SUMMARY:Patricia Harding\, Testing Orchid DNA and  Developing a Family Tree
DESCRIPTION:Our March speaker will be Patricia Harding\, a world traveler\, observer\, photographer\, and writer who    also grows orchids at her Oregon home\, where she has been “stuck” for more than a year. She will talk about testing orchid DNA and developing a family tree\, how it is done and why it works. Sounds        downright scary\, right? Not so! Ms. Harding promises a science-for-the-layman presentation so we  can understand how to make an orchid family tree without knowing the DNA in all the individual   plants—all with a bit of humor and “some pretty orchid pictures.” She will also explain the reasoning behind some of the often-confusing name changes that have occurred in recent years. \n

SUMMARY:Mary Gerritsen PhD\, Miniature Orchids and How to Grow Them
DESCRIPTION:Mary Gerritsen currently works an independent biotechnology consultant\, her “retirement” after a long career in the pharmaceutical/biotechnology industry. However\, much of her free time now involves orchids in some fashion or another. \nMary has a large collection of miniature orchids\, as well as numerous pleurothallids\, paphiopedilum\, bulbophyllum\, and dendrobium species which she grows outside in one of three lath houses\, or in one of her two greenhouses . In addition to growing orchids\, Mary likes to see and photograph them in their native habitats\, doing so in Australia\, Papua New Guinea\, Southeast Asia\, China\, various Mediterranean islands\, Europe\, Madagascar\, South Africa\, Mexico and other parts of Central America\, many countries in South America\, as well as various parts of the USA and Canada.  In addition to her interest in orchids and their habitats\, Mary has written\, with co-author and photographer\, Ron Parsons\, a number of books on orchids including Masdevallias: Gems of the Orchid World; A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species; A Bay Area Guide to Orchids and Their Culture; and The American Orchid Society Guide to Orchids and their Culture. Currently Mary and Ron are working on a new four volume edition of the Compendium to be published in 2021 . Mary is the chief financial officer of the Orchid Conservation Alliance\, serves on the board of directors of the Orchid Digest\, and is a past president of the San Francisco and the Peninsula Orchid Societies. \nTalk synopsis: \nMiniature Orchids and How to Grow Them \nMary ‘s talk will cover one of her favorite topics\, miniature orchids. After a brief introduction to the topic and cultural recommendations\, she will present a selection of some of the most desirable species. Hopefully this will entice members of the audience to add some of these cuties to their orchid collections.

SUMMARY:General Meeting\, Dr. Doug Needham: Photomorphogenic Responses-Phototropism & Photoperiodism\, ZOOM meeting
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Needham’s professional objective has been “to educate and foster the professional development of others.”\nAfter earning his PhD in Horticultural Plant Breeding and Genetics in 1989\, Dr. Needham served as Professor of Floriculture at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Needham joined Longwood Gardens in July 2007\, serving as Vice President of Education until he retired in July 2017.Dr. Needham joined Longwood Gardens in July 2007\, serving as Vice President of Education until he retired in July 2017.\nDr. Needham began growing flowering plants as a child\, and that passion continues throughout retirement. He caught the “Orchid Bug” as a teen from his grandmother and\, in his words\, “never recovered.” He grows hundreds of orchids in cool and warm glasshouses\, designs and cultivates English-inspired perennial borders\, and is working to restore a native prairie. Dr. Needham shares his passion through workshops\, presentations\, tours\, and consulting.\nHis lecture is entitled\, “Photomorphogenic Responses-Phototropism & Photoperiodism.” Yes\, that sounds frightening\, but it really has to do with the effects of light and darkness on plants\, something we all need to learn more about. Dr. Needham is very down-to-earth and an engaging speaker. Hope you will join us via Zoom. \nOur show table is virtual during the pandemic. Members can submit up to two pictures (orchids) for judging\, definite deadline end-of-day\, Saturday September 12. E-mail photos to Rich and Joan. E-mail photos only\, no submissions any other way. \nrichackerman@gmail.com\, jmconnors25@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Tom Kuligowski “Creating Better Images of Your Orchids”
DESCRIPTION:“Creating Better Images of Your Orchids” Ever wish you could take better photos of your orchids to share with friends? Join us via Zoom July 13 at 7:30 for a special treat. Professional photographer Tom Kuligowski will show us how to do it.\nTom was bitten by the “Orchid Bug” 20 years ago while photographing a neighbor’s orchids\, documenting the progression of growth through the blooms on the mature plants. He soon started his own orchid collection\, incorporating his artistic abilities with various mediums\, combining his photographic skills to create beautiful photographs of his orchids.\n“You don’t necessarily need a wealth of knowledge to capture images of your orchids. Many of today’s cameras can do the thinking for you.” With this in mind\, Tom teaches orchid hobbyists how to take better pictures of their own orchids. Whether you use a smartphone\, point-and-shoot camera\, or digital single lens reflex camera\, everyone can improve their images. Tom will show us a few simple techniques to create images that will make our photos as beautiful as our orchids. \nClick below to join meeting!
