Spotting an orchid in the wild can be a thrill. Some are eye-catching and spectacularly colorful. Others are small and harder to find and identify. In this presentation, Fred Haynes will discuss the wild orchids he has seen and photographed in western New York State and the parks, preserves and habitats where they are found.
We will learn identifying features and the unique parasitic and symbiotic relationships some species have with other plants and fungi in the woodlands and wetlands.
This event is a joint offering for BANC members and our friends from the Canandaigua Botanical Society.
The evening will begin with a potluck supper. For dinner, bring your place setting and a dish to pass that will serve 8 to 12 people. If you are unable to join us for supper, you can still attend the program, which should begin shortly after 7:00 pm.
