Orchid Trivia
We have given Heidi her own Game Show for
the January meeting.
Join your game show hostess, Heidi Utt, for
an evening of orchid trivia. There will be questions about
orchids, orchid organizations, and orchid plant slides to
identify.
There will be a handout of questions for each table.
Answers can be discussed at the table as well as researched
with books from the society's reference library.
January is an unpredictable month for winter
travel so our program is designed so that speaker travel is
not required.

Nina Rach on Orchids of Guatemala
This is one of Nina's newest presentations. It represents
three years of field trips and shows, covering species from
the northern Peten jungle (Tikal area, near borders with
Belize and Mexico); slightly south to the high-altitude area
around Coban (famous for its lycastes); to the Guatemalan
highlands in the west (Lake Atitlan, Chichicastenango area);
to a wonderful volcanic plateau area northeast of Guatemala
City with cloud forests where we found a new species,
documented in Orchids magazine.
Her
program will have broad appeal, because it will give some
idea of travel in the country, show several different
climatic areas, colorful indigenous people, and the layout
for a few of the shows put on by the Asociación
Guatemalteca de Orquideología in Guatemala City.
Nina will show
predominantly species, in the wild and line-bred hybrids.
There will also be slides of lovely hybrids from shows
included.

Keith Funk on the 19th World Orchid Conference
From the outdoor opening ceremonies with Macaw Parrots and a flock of
Flamingos, to the fabulous preview party, over the top exhibits,
extraordinary seminars, and irresistible vendors to the closing
ceremonies promoting Singapore in 2011 and South Africa in 2014, the 19th WOC was
an incredible experience. Five days of overindulging in all things orchid
allowed Keith to accumulate vast stores of pictures. Through careful
selection, he's been able to put together a presentation of some favorite WOC
moments including characters you all know and love as well as highlights of
Selby Botanic Gardens, the Everglades and Fairchild Botanic Gardens.
Formal meeting starts at 7:30 pm in Gates Hall at the Denver Botanic Gardens.
