News NOS Monthly meeting at 2:30 pm Saturday, May 13, at Superior Perkins next to the Bong Memorial

Hello orchid folks,

It looks like there is enough interest to participate at the DGFS Plant Sale at the Rose Garden parking lot. That happens Saturday, May 27th at 8:00 to 9;30am. Setup will start at 7:30. House plants, orchid divisions, perennials, pots, seedlings, etc are possibilities to sell. To keep track of sales you need to put the plant name, your name and the price on each item for sale using a 3x5 card and a rubber band. The NOS gets 15% of sales as this event is a fundraiser for the club.

We will discuss the Sale more at our NOS meeting this Saturday and in a reminder later in the month! In other news, if you are in the Cities May 20th you can stop by Bachmans at 6010 Lyndale Ave S to hear Harry Gallis speak about antelope dendrobiums from 1-3. And meet a wonderful group of orchid growers! Also there is a possibility to have a gathering at the Ross' in Deerwood around the second weekend in June if folks are interested or able! Nothing definite at this time. I know that with the coming of Spring there is so much to do. Especially those with gardens when we have such a late start to the season. But I hope you can make it to our NOS meeting this Saturday, 2:30 at Superior Perkins. Feel free to bring plants for show or sale, and any orchid questions you may have!

Feel free to bring blooming plants and your questions to the meeting. It will be good to be together again.

Best wishes, Gary
