Webinar: The Clandestine Orchid

Join Leslie Duthie for a virtual walk through central Massachusetts in search of orchids. What has spurred people’s interest in orchids? They are not always the showiest flower in the wild. They are often hard to find. They are flighty, appearing in one location this year, but gone the next! Discover a variety of orchid species found in New England throughout the spring and summer and learn more about why this family of plants can be so elusive.
