NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
Plans are well underway for the 5th North American Native
Orchid Conference to be held from July 16-20, 2000 in the
spectacular Olympic Peninsula in the state of Washington. If you plan
on attending please do not delay in sending in your registration.
One of the major features of the Journal for 2000 will be the
4-part series assembled by Anne and Ken Wagner on the Rare,
Threatened and Endangered Orchids of North America (north of
Mexico). This will be the first time all of this information will have
been brought together for a single periodical.
