Our speaker last night at the Orchid Society was Mary Garritsen. I thought her talk was going to be one of those informercials that we got to pay to watch.

She was GREAT! No infomercialing at all. She is an expert on miniature orchids - her definition is anything that the entire plant grows to less that 15 cm high. Of course, then she showed a photo of a plant that is about 3 feet across. Oh, and flowers don't count in that measurement.

So anyway, her slide show was all about seeing these orchids in the wild. She has traveled all over the world photographing miniature orchids in situ. Awesome!

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
