Orchid Society membership
I am not an AOS member even though I have thought about it, but I'd rather put the cash into my collection. I am a member of the New Hampshire Orchid Society though. Sometimes the meeting location is not the easiest one for me to get to (bedford), and the Maine Orchid Society is just as far. Maybe there should be a Rollinsford Orchid Society...but I'd be the only member.
Thoughts on Member of AOS
No, I am not a member of the AOS. I understand their need for a AOS however, they need to work on making it more useful for the average orchid enthusiast.
I do belong to 2 orchid society`s, one meets at Tuesday at 10am and the other meets Thursday night 7pm. They were one Orchid Society at one time and then as life goes politics/people created a split. Once you wade through the politics it can be very enjoyable.
I believe anyone wanting to learn more should join an orchid club.
