MARY RICHARDSON | Next Month's Meeting The BROS May meeting will be held on Wednesday May 18, at 7pm at the Burden Conference Center. Our program will be presented by Mary Richardson and it will be on the subjects of Phalaenopsis Orchids. Mary has been growing Phal's for many years in Lake Charles and recently won a blue ribbon, Best Grown Plant and Best Flower, plus an AOS Award of Merit (AM) at the Acadiana Orchid Show in Lafayette. Many new orchid growers begin with the common moth orchid and it has sparked the desire to learn more about this beautiful plant. We hope every BROS member as well as any visitors can join us for this meeting. |
