Next Meeting: November 14th. 6:30 setup. Meeting starts at 7:00.

November Program: At this month's meeting, Tim Culbertson will visit us here in Santa Cruz to speak on the genus Lycaste, most especially, the smaller cooler growing varieties. This talk will focus on Lyc. campbellii, Lyc. dowiana and their hybrids. These plants are easy to grow and flower, are vigorous, and have low demands on culture, and as such are wonderful plants to grow here in Santa Cruz.
Tremendous advancements in breeding Lycastes have been made recently, and he will share some of these with us, as well as help identify some of the important species in the backgrounds of historically important and modern Lycastes. Tim will provide the topic relevant raffle table and also bring some of these exciting orchids for sale.
