Next Denver Orchid Society Meeting

Our meetings are typically open to the public, and include a short business discussion, an expert speaker presentation about orchids, and the sale of orchid plants.

Click here for more information about the next meeting of the Denver Orchid Society, which is Tuesday, February 9th, at the Montview Presbyterian Church, 1980 Dahlia St., Denver, CO 80220. Due to construction at the Denver Botanic Gardens, our meetings have relocated until the Botanic Gardens renovation is complete.

Montview Church has been a historic force of social action in the local community and Denver. It is an honor for the Denver Orchid Society to be offered a temporary home at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church. Ckick HERE for a map.

The 2009 movie "Darwin," starring Paul Bettany and Jennifer Connelly.
What happens when a world-renowned scientist, crushed by the loss of his eldest daughter, formulates a theory in conflict with religious dogma? This is the story of Charles Darwin and his master-work "The Origin of Species". It tells of a global revolution played out in the confines of a small English village; a passionate marriage torn apart by the most exciting idea in history; and a theory saved from extinction by the logic of a child.
