Orchid Board - Most Complete Orchid Forum on the web !

As a member of the Desert Valley Orchid Society I have learned a tremendous amount from our speaker chair and AOS Judge Bev Tall. I have heard numerous excellent talks from which I have learned a lot. I highly recommend these speakers. You may find my edited lecture notes for many of these here on Orchid Board. I still have more notes to write up.

Anybody with access to the DVOS newsletters will recognize I left out some talks. That might mean I was not there that evening.

I have a soft spot for travelogues given by people who pay close attention to growing conditions in habitat - and tell us about them.

I would gladly listen again to any of the talks I already heard from these people:
