Have You Ever Played ORCHID BINGO?
From Our Program Chair - Kathy Cox
It's game night at TBOS this month!
We will be playing Orchid Bingo.
There are some wonderful plants for prizes. Bingo cards are $1 each and you can purchase as many as you like to increase your chance of winning. It's always a fun night. See you there.
Tips to winning in ORCHID BINGO
STUDY the orchid genera on the sample Bingo card below. If you want to know what they sound like go to the AOS website. Scroll to the bottom of the Explore Orchids page and select each genus on the card. Each orchid title shows phonetics below the name.
