A chance to improve your understanding of this popular genus and learn the newest trends.

 

Many of you will know Harold when he was part of Paphanatics Unlimited.  He has recently retired as Editor of the excellent magazine, THE ORCHID DIGEST.  Harold has told us he is willing to sign copies of his new book for those bringing their copies to the meeting, but due to weight he will not have copies available.
