SUMMARY:Edinburgh Monthly Meeting
DESCRIPTION:August Meeting: ‘Oiling the Wheels of Pollination‘\nOil-pollination syndrome in orchids is a highly specialised mutualism in which flowers produce non-volatile lipid oils instead of (or alongside) nectar\, and these oils are collected by specialist oil-gathering bees. This short presentation will explain the partnership between orchid and bee which is a prime example of c0-evolution\, where both species have adapted to depend on each other. \nGeneral Information:\nOur meetings in Edinburgh can consist of an illustrated talk or practical sessions where you can learn aspects of orchid cultivation under the guidance of our resident experts who will also be happy to answer your queries on orchid cultivation and/or pest and disease control. We usually have a table show of members’ plants with plenty of opportunities to socialise and exchange ideas. Refreshments are available. Why not come along and see what we have to offer.
