president's message
March 2024
Dear OSSC Members,
I hope you are getting your plants and growing areas ready for the longer days and warmer weather. Evidence of spring abounds and I am always excited to see signs of new growths and future blooms.
THANKS to everyone who submitted so many photos of their blooming orchids -- five pages full! I hope this will encourage everyone to share their orchid successes with the rest of our club in future newsletters. As we all know, not every flowering plant cooperates by staying in bloom for the next OSSC meeting, but you can share them proudly in the OSSC Bulletin. Thanks again.
This month we will have Carol Klonowski talk about Chinese Paphiopedilums. This group of orchids includes some of the most interesting and beautiful orchids in the genus and has given rise to some exciting hybrids that do well for the hobbyist. Carol is an avid orchid hobbyist, a world traveler and a fantastic storyteller. Please do not miss out on this very exciting talk.
James
