Membership in the GROS offers many benefits:
The orchid season is winding down, as summer is drawing near and everything outside seems to be greening up almost overnight. We’ve had a wonderful Spring show, and finally, we’ve all got a moment to sit back and relax. Join us at our last “formal” meeting before the GROS picnic in June, as our own Program Vice President Jim Marlow presents “Growing Award Winning Orchids.” Jim’s talk will focus on an overview of three distinctly different orchid groups: mini Cymbidiums, Paphiopedilum parvisepalum hybrids, and Lycastes - with many expert tips on culture.
Jim is the proprietor of Marlow Orchids in Scottsville, NY - one of New York State's leading commercial orchid growers. Anyone who has visited Marlow’s is well aware of the diversity and quality of the plants in the greenhouse.
We will be taking Jim to dinner at 5:15 p.m. (before the meeting) at Mamasan’s Noodle Caboodle, 2800 Monroe Avenue; if you'd like to join us, (everyone pays for his or her own dinner) please call our Program VP - it’s Jim! - at 585-889-7983 to make sure that there will be enough space.
The Show Table will be back, so please remember to bring your flowering plants. We’ll see you there!
Our regular meeting night is the first Monday following the first Sunday of each month. We occasionally change the meeting date as our schedule requires, but we always list the correct date well in advance both on this website and in our monthly newsletter. Our meetings are open to everyone without charge - feel free to attend and find out what our Society is all about!
Meetings typically consist of a brief business meeting to conduct our club's routine activities, a special presentation on an orchid subject, an orchid raffle, and a show table where members display their flowering plants for everyone to see. For more information, call our President, Jeff Snyder at at 585-377-5895.
