December traditionally features our Photograph of the Week orchid photographic layout featuring a selection of some of the best submission received during the year. You don't want to miss this! December and January are peak flowering months for Laelia anceps and Fred Clarke treats us to a beautifully illustrated discussion of the species and many of its most outstanding hybrids. We continue our series on Paphiopedilum species by Olaf Gruss with Paphiopedilum rungsuriyanum. This exceptionally compact stunner from Laos was only recently described and it's hard to imagine how it avoided description for so long. Minnelli Lucy France presents the Orchid Menagerie - orchids and their pollinators - featuring original artwork by the author. Last but certainly not least, Arthur E. Chadwick shares his father's (Art Chadwick Sr) history in orchids. Art Sr., Founder of Chadwick & Son Orchids, turned 90 in July and credits his longevity to orchids. Happy Birthday Art!
