Upcoming & Past Meetings
Meetings are normally held the second Monday of each month with the exception of July and August. Meetings typically run from 7:00pm-9:00pm. Our meetings feature informative programs, guest speakers, orchid exhibits, plant raffles, and sales. One Meeting each year features a special auction. The auction is a chance for members to sell their extra plants and to bid on new ones to add to their collection.
Meetings are free and open to the public, however we encourage you to sign up for a membership to support the society and receive all the benefits the society has to offer.
January 2026 Meeting
Tristan Ingram
Speaker: Tristan Ingram
Topic: Orchid Viruses, Identification & Management
Tristan Ingram is a Greenhouse Specialist at Palmer Orchids, where he oversees the care and cultivation of the nursery ’s extensive orchid collection. A graduate of the University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology, Tristan combines scientific knowledge with hands-on experience to nurture a wide variety of orchid species and hybrids.
Born and raised in North Georgia, Tristan developed an early love for the outdoors that naturally grew into a passion for orchids—particularly Cyrtopodiums and Encyclias. Known for his problem-solving skills and practical know-how, if something’s broken, Tristan can fix it. When he’s not in the greenhouse, he enjoys spending time outside and with his family.
We will have our normal member display table, sales table, raffle ($1 ticket) and refreshments.
