INVITE YOUR ATTENDEES

Summary

The Mid-Atlantic region is home to a surprising number of native orchids; most of them are threatened or endangered. Although some are colorful and flamboyant, many are small and inconspicuous. This presentation by Bob Sprague will employ the magic of macro-photography to provide close-up views of most of them. In addition, you will learn about the amazing life histories of a number of these fascinating native plants. The program concludes with a discussion of current threats to our native orchid flora, ongoing research/conservation efforts, and how you can help.
