"Orchid Society of California - Meets... third Mondays monthly." The Orchid Society of California is the local society of Oakland, CA. It is so named because it was the first Orchid Society to be formed in California (and west of the Mississippi as well). Apparently it was the originator of the Orchid Digest as well (please correct me if I am wrong on that). Though smaller than its neighbor, the San Francisco Orchid Society it is similar in the high percentage of species growers, and the quality of show tables each month. Programs are more frequently geared towards beginner growers than at the SFOS. This month is the annual "Ice Cream Social" and plant auction. Dennis
