Refreshments

You can bring anything savory or sweet - if you are unable to bring something, please let  Maryanne Hazen (our January, February and March chair) know that you have switched with someone else - but please find a fellow member with whom to swap snack dates.

Will announce January refreshment committee later this week.

   A POTPOURRI OF ORCHID FACTS – From “Growing Orchids is Fun”

• Orchid plants are still useful in many crafts and trades. Gum from Ansellia gigantea is used to cement stones and wood together.
• Vanilla is the most productive orchid today that is still being used throughout the world commercially.
• Cypripedium acaule is known as the love tonic.  
  • A cool site from a new member:     ORCHAOLICSANONYMOUS

You can get data on local and country-wide orchid shows and events, information on growing, etc. at this site.  www.aos.org     This is a great organization for learning much about orchid growing.   You'll also receive a monthly magazine with many helpful articles about orchids.   A bargain for $45 per year.
