Special MOS Meeting and Sale - Orchid Board

I didn't know where else to put this as this is not a show.

The Memphis Orchid Society monthly meeting for October 25 will include a special sale.

Several members are downsizing collections for various reasons. This is an excellent way to get large BS plants for very low cost.

The MOS is a 501(c)3 so the donations are tax deductible.

2pm at the Memphis Botanic Gardens, Sunday, October 25.

Even if you are not a MOS member, please come on by and see us. There will be PLENTY of orchids. We will have refreshments!

See the photos for a sampling of what will be available.

If you don't mind me asking what is the mounted orchid in the bottom center of the 4th photo?

Restripia brachypus is the one I think you are looking at?

If the very bottom center, Dendrobium kingianum var. album 'Olympic White' × kingianum 'Olympic Pink' - This is an excellent cross from Meyers Conservatory (link below to information). Mount (from 2011)

That looks like a wonderful bunch of orchids!
Our OS just had theirs and I found homes for the rest of my large species Cattleyas and a few others. These sales are a great way to find orchids because you never know what will turn up!
