Challen Willemsen
Orchids of the Andes
Virtual - Zoom
UPDATE from COOS Secretary for January 2026 Members Meeting:
"Given that the weather will be absolutely miserable and likely dangerous
on Sunday, Franklin Park Conservatory has wisely closed. We will still host
the talk by Challen Willemsen on Orchids of the Andes via Zoom, but not
meeting in person! Stay safe and stay home, everyone!
Thanks, Beth Makley (Incoming COOS Secretary)"
