MONTHLY MEETINGSOnce a month ANOS Melbourne Suburbs members get together to discuss orchid cultivation, admire our beautiful Australasian orchids and listen to knowledgeable speakers. Our meetings emphasize improved growing methods to develop stronger and better flowering plants and support and encourage ongoing breeding of Australasian orchids. We already have an experienced group of members and scientists actively sharing their knowledge of orchids during the meetings and we encourage informality and discussion. We plan to cover information on all genera over time and we support conservation through breeding and other initiatives. At meetings benched orchids are judged by our judging panel according to ANOS judging guidelines. Plants for judging need to be benched between 7.00 and 7.30pm. |
When We MeetUsually on 4th Wednesday of the month at 7:30pm

Visitors and New MembersVisitors and new members are most welcome to our meetings. There is an exciting program for 2007, with a balance of culture, breeding and up to date scientific information including new discoveries and orchid taxonomy. We also cater for the needs of new growers. Afternoon tea is available before, during and after meetings. |
