Jennie spoke at our meeting about Longwood Garden’s class on orchids. I couldn’t wait to do this. It took me 6 1/2 hours at the computer yesterday, but it didn’t seem that long. I was enjoying it so. There’s a great glossary of terms. Beautiful photos…my favorite spot was the section called “Orchid Stories”. Such gorgeous photos, along with care, light, watering instructions. They cover the full spectrum. The final presentations are ways to arrange and display orchids. Very interesting educational opportunity. It’s a must do! Register on this link:
