Carol Siegel — The Sex Life of Orchids

Carol has been president and newsletter editor of the Greater Las Vegas Orchid Society for over twenty years. She lectures on many orchid subjects at societies, museums and universities around the country and has written dozens of articles for Orchid Digest and other publications. Carol was awarded the Orchid Digest Medal for her meritorious service to orchids.

Carol will present an amusing and informative talk on “The Sex Life of Orchids,” the talk for which she is famous. Orchids will stop at nothing to get pollinated. They will lie. They will cheat. They will promise and then not deliver. If they do deliver, they will give as little as possible.

This is the fascinating story of how the most successful of plant families has managed to dupe its pollinators and survive to make another gorgeous generation in the most unfriendly of environments.
