NOVEMBER MONTHLY MEETING Monday, November 10, 2014 8:00 PM Atlanta Botanical Garden, Day Hall Mark Reinke Marble Branch Farms “Honey, I Shrunk the Or-kids!” (The History of Miniature and Compact Cattleyas) For our November meeting,outgoing president and co-owner of Marble Branch Farms will reprise a program that had its debut at the January, 2008 meeting of the Atlanta Orchid Society and has since been presented to orchid societies all over the Southeast. While the structure of the presentation is the same, it has been updated to keep up with the latest developments in the breeding of small stature cattleya type orchids, both at Marble Branch Farms and the industry as a whole. The entire program is fi lled with beautiful photography, all of which was taken by Mark himself. But going beyond illustrating the beauty and fascination of these small gems of Orchidom, Mark will give plenty of helpful growing advice for the various breeding lines we have today and for the species from which they originated. Mark and Gary will be bringing plants to sell at the meeting, including some of their newest crosses that are not yet available to the general public.
