The Massachusetts Orchid Society will hold its annual orchid auction on Tuesday, September 15, from 7:30 – 9:30 pm at the Waltham Field Station, 240 Beaver Street in Waltham, Massachusetts.
The Massachusetts Orchid Society is a non-profit educational organization of individuals from all walks of life, who share an interest in orchids. These interests range from the simple appreciation of orchids as beautiful flowers to highly technical involvement in orchid breeding and taxonomy. Most MOS members are active orchid growers, growing their own plants under conditions ranging from window sills to artificial light gardens to automated greenhouses.
The MOS holds monthly meetings throughout the year, encompassing a broad range of topics. The program for a typical meeting includes an orchid show table, plant sales, social time with refreshments, a short business meeting, a presentation by a guest speaker usually with slides, discussion, and Q&A, and a raffle for orchid plants. Annual membership is $20. For more information, log on to www.massorchid.org.
