president's message

September 2023  

Dear OSSC Members,

I hope you are enjoying the start of fall and the much cooler weather. I particularly enjoy seeing the growth that often comes this time of year and getting a respite from having to water so much. This month’s talk will be presented by Donna Ballard, a fully accredited AOS society judge who has long been a member of our society. Her talk will cover the differences between stem propagated and seed grown orchids. Donna has decades of experience as a professional horticulturist and is a fabulous orchid grower. There will be much to learn for all skill levels. Lastly, I encourage you to sign up to help with The Huntington Show set up as well as ribbon judging if you are interested and able. We look forward to seeing you at the next meeting and The Huntington Show.

Best,

James
