The Maui Orchid Society General Membership Meeting started at 6:30 PM on Tuesday, October 16, at the Wailuku Community Center. Carol Choda reminded the members that is not only the number of flowers on the plant, but also its formation and color attributable to its genus and species type. She brought 3 sample plants to allow members in the crowd to conduct a simulated judging challenge.
Our speaker for the evening was
Dr. Courtney Hackrey, Emeritus Professor of Biology and former Director of Coastal Biology at the University of North Florida. In 2004, he published American Cattleyas, the culmination of a decade of study and interviews that summarized how all of the modern cattleyas came to be.
His slide show presentation provided an interesting and colorful summary of the content of his book.
