Next Meeting: Holiday Bash – Dec. 5, 2022
Aside from the usual grazing and schmoozing that are typical of our annual GROS holiday “extravaganzas”, this year we’ll have hands-on potting and mounting of Dendrobium loddegesii and Tolumnia sylvestris seedling orchids!
There will be plenty divisions of each plant for members to pot or mount. Mounting and potting supplies will be provided. If you have a specific pot or mount you would like to use, please bring. There is no charge for members.
GROS to supply: Sheet Pizza – one veggie and one “TBA,”. bottled water, coffee, tea selection, sweeteners, creamers, spoons, forks, napkins, plates.
Members to bring: Hors d’oeuvres, cheese, crackers, chips, cookies, pies etc. Please note that no pork products or shellfish are permitted inside the JCC!
Example: Fran is bringing a tapas of whole black olives, black olive tapenade, Peloponnese kalamata olive spread and pita chips .
This month will also feature raffle plants donated by Alan Koch of Gold Country Orchids: Epidendrum porpax, Brassavola nodosa var. grandiflora, Oncidium Twinkle.
The Show Table will hopefully be in full holiday regalia, so please bring in your flowering plants for everyone to admire!

Our Meetings
The Genesee Region Orchid Society (GROS) is a 501(c) non-profit organization based in Rochester, NY.
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 (2 tickets for $1), and a Show Table where members can display their flowering plants for everyone to see. For more information, please contact any of our officers.
