Speaker: Betty Patterson
Talk: Orchids and Bromeliads of Colombia
Location: Auditorium!
For this month's meeting on Sunday, 20 October, the Southeast Michigan Bromeliad Society has welcomed us to join them for a presentation by Betty Patterson, who will be speaking of her recent trip to Colombia, where she documented numerous orchids and bromeliads in situ. We're expecting to hear about pleurothallids, pitcairnias, puyas, and whatever other surprises Betty has up her sleeve. This meeting will be at 2pm in the auditorium.
Betty Patterson is retired from the Dallas Symphony Orchestra where she played double-bass, and she has collaborated with author José Manzares on his multivolume series, Jewels of the Jungle: Bromeliaceae of Ecuador, which includes descriptions of species encountered on her 2001 trip to Ecuador, sponsored by the National Geographic Society.
Don’t forget to bring your display orchids for show and tell (we do have the show next month) as well as orchids for the raffle table!
