Nov. 4, 2024 Meeting – Dendrobiums
Nov. 4, 2024 Meeting – Dendrobiums
Enjoy the continuing “Fall” weather we’re experiencing hereabouts and head on down to the JCC in November to join your fellow orchidists in a rousing discussion on Dendrobiums.
According to the American Orchid Society, Dendrobiums are “an extremely diverse genus of about 900 species from India to the islands of the Pacific Ocean.” We’ll have a video and a panel discussion about the 4 main types of Dendrobiums. A short beginner discussion will take place outside the auditorium starting at 6PM. Members are encouraged to bring plants with which they’re having trouble, so we can help you diagnose and treat any problems.
The Show Table will be back, of course, so don’t forget to bring in your flowering orchids. Members are free to bring in their own plants to sell or trade. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. and the regular meeting will begin at 6:30.

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.
