SUMMARY:OOS Meeting—February 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Business Meeting will take place at 1:00–1:50pm; Program Presentation at 2–3pm; and Show Table\, Auction\, and Raffle at 3–3:30pm. \n\n\n\nProgram\n\n\n\nThe American Orchid Society’s Mary Gerritsen will share her experiences on the orchids of Madagascar. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nBiographyMary has been interested in plants for most of her adult life\, and has been growing orchids on and off for the last 40 years\, despite several cross country moves as part of her “other life” as a biomedical scientist. Her passion for orchids was rekindled when she moved to the San Francisco Bay area in 1997 and attended an orchid show. Returning home with a few plants\, she decided to join a local orchid society to learn more about taking care of them\, and from these beginnings\, her current passion grew exponentially! Now Mary truly has put her roots down\, and has orchids in two greenhouses\, five lath houses\, her front porch\, sun room\, and anywhere else she can put them. Her collection of about two thousand plants\, mostly species\, is rich in masdevallias and other miniature orchids of many different genera. Mary has traveled extensively to see orchids in situ\, including many countries in Central and South America\, Southeast Asia\, as well as Australia\, Papua New Guinea\, South Africa\, Madagascar\, Europe & Mediterranean islands\, the USA and Canada. She has co-authored six botanical books with co-author and photographer Ron Parsons “Masdevallias\, Gems of the Orchid World”\, “Calochortus\, Mariposa Lilies and their Relatives”\, “A Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species” (a two book set)\, “A Bay Area Guide to Orchids and their Culture” “The American Orchid Society Guide to Orchids and their Culture”\, and the recently released “The Compendium of Miniature Orchid Species\, 2nd edition” (a four book set). Mary has served as president and vice president for both the Peninsula and San Francisco Orchid Societies\, and is currently president and chief executive officer of the Orchid Conservation Alliance and a director of the Orchid Digest.
