Andy Braun and his award winning entry
Hats off to the BCOS, and specifically to the members of the committee who put it all together and landed us a SECOND PLACE at the SEPOS show held at Longwood Gardens! Two of our members, Andy Braun and Dave McCullough, walked away with Blue ribbons, and Andy also received a CCM from the AOS for his entry (see photo). Congratulations to both, and well done to all involved.

MARCH MEETING
April 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Another banner month for the show table! It appears that the membership is paying attention to the programs that we have each month, and it is evident in the quality of plants that are being brought in.
This month’s speaker was David Off, of Waldor Orchids. His presentation of identifying viruses was very interesting. He even brought test kits along and did demonstrations of how it is done.
The Sepos show committee is in high gear and ready to go, read more of the results elsewhere on this page.

FEBRUARY MEETING

The program this month was centered around growing Cymbidiums. Jim and Lois Duffin gave an excellent presentation full of tips and tricks for growing Cymbidiums sucessfully. ( I am fully confident that my Cymbidiums will be blooming this year!)
The show table at this month’s meeting was spectacular. It rated up there with such greats as Decembers snack table, and that is high praise, for those that missed it. If this is an example of what we will have for our exhibit at the Sepos show, then we should do quite well.
