Event Details

Plant enthusiasts are warmly invited to a virtual talk by Dr. Lynn Kinter, botanist with IDFG, on Idaho’s orchids this Tuesday, January 19th at 6:30 pm for the Wood River Chapter.

Idaho is home to 28 native orchids, which occur in an amazing array of colors, shapes, and sizes.  Some attract insect pollinators in unusual ways.  A few lack chlorophyll and parasitize other plants.  All are uniquely beautiful.  This presentation will cover Idaho orchids and their habitats, as well as distinctive traits of the Orchid Family.
