Orchid Group
The Orchid Group will be meeting in January on January 8th at 2:00 in

foliage rather than it's flowers. These are very unique orchids and are
worth learning about and can be grown as a houseplant.
As always, we'll be discussing other topics at the meeting and having our
show-and-tell where members and guest bring in their blooming orchids
to show them off. And there will be a free raffle where everyone who
attends has an opportunity to win a new orchid. So come and join us for
our bi-monthly meeting. We'd love to see you there.
