Orchids for Amateurs


"The Inflorescence" Monthly Newsletter

The "Inflorescence" Newsletter of the South Bay Orchid Society is published monthly, both electronically and in hard copy fomat, usually one or two weeks prior to the monthly meeting. There is a description of each month's culture session along with information concerning the scheduled guest speaker. Our board chairs and society members contribute timely informative articles related to orchids, report upcoming events, shows, honor, monthly judged results, and items of general orchid interest. The articles are listed by the month in which they appear, not the month during which the speaker gave a presentation.

We recommend and encourage SBOS members with an active email address to subscribe to receive the monthly newsletter in full color via email and save us the printing/mailing costs. You can do so by clicking on the SBOS Newsletter Email list tab to the left and click on subscribe.
