In Vol. 6, Issue 336, Kenneth asked about a publication called "Orchid Lore," ostensibly published by the Houston Orchid Society. Well... there may be a mistake as to which organization published this. We don't think it came from Houston. Our newsletter, since 1973, has been called "Houston Happenings." Donna Craig started it, and she told me that there had not been a newsletter for many years before that. Our monthly newsletter is posted on our website, and archives are available online for issues beginning with January 2003.
The Houston Orchid Society was founded in 1945 and was the second society in the US to affiliate with the American Orchid Society (http://www.houstonorchidsociety.org/HOS/Who_are_we.html). It's possible that a very early newsletter may have had the name "Orchid Lore." Kenneth, please let me know where you found a reference to it, or if you have a copy, send me a scan. If it only says "HOS," perhaps it refers to the Honolulu OS or some other organization. Meanwhile, I will continue asking around.

I had a look at the webpage of the Houston Orchid Society, but their magazine is now called Houston Happenings (at least since 1970). How long did "Orchid Lore" run ? kind regards, Kenneth. ------------------------------
