Featured this month

This month features a lavishly illustrated article on Dendrobium Delicatum and its corresponding natural hybrid Dendrobium ×delicatum by Peter Adams from Australia and the last installment of Graham Guest's seriers The Easton Dossiers on the hybridizing legacy of the late Andy Easton. For those who grow their orchids in interior growing spaces, AOS Trustee, Cam Mackey, shares his experiences with grow tents. His observations will be indispensable.  Rounding out are features is a spotlight featuring the most recent 100-point Certificate of Cultural Merit, Anguloa brevilabris 'Alma del Bosque' FCC-CCE/AOS. Congratulations to the grower!
