2026 MEETINGS & EVENTS
Next Meeting:
For as many years as hobbyists have been collecting orchids, there have been myths regarding them. We will explore many common (and uncommon) misconceptions about growing and propagating orchids. In the digital age, we rely too much on simply what we read online which can lead to poor growing choices.
Bridget Uzar has been working for Carter & Holmes since 2002. She has been in charge of the breeding collection and other greenhouses for most of that time and it has also been her responsibility to handle the majority of the hybridizing since 2009. You will find her on C&H's social media, compiling their regular email offerings, as well as giving talks during open houses and for tour groups. She visits societies for talks both local and on the road along with traveling to orchid shows/symposiums.

WARNING:
Attending CFOS meetings may result in an uncontrollable urge to buy more orchids. Guests are always welcome at our monthly CFOS meetings, though we do ask you to pay dues (only $25 per year) if you make a habit of it 😄 |
