Orchid Society at the Roger Williams Park Casino, Providence, R.I. RIWPS Business Meeting from 11:30 to 12:30 Fellowship 12:30 to 1:30 Speaker 1:30 to 3:00 Free and Open to the Public Lady-slipper orchids are at once the most loved and most misunderstood of wildflowers.
They are the subject of frequent questions such as “Are they impossible to grow?” and
“Can I transplant one?” This talk delves into the fascinating and complicated world of
Cypripediums to provide the answers to everything the audience ever wanted to know
about these amazing wildflowers.

William Cullina holds degrees in plant science and psychology and has been working in
plant propagation and nursery production for over twenty years. In 1995 he became
nursery manager and propagator at the New England Wild Flower Society’s Garden in
the Woods and Nasami Farm, where he is currently the director of the New England Wild
Flower Society Nurseries– now the largest of its kind in New England with locations in Framingham and Whately, MA. Cullina lectures on native plants and propagation to garden and professional groups and writes for
popular and technical journals. His first book, The New England Wild Flower Society Guide to Growing and
Propagating Wildflowers of the United States and Canada, was published by Houghton Mifflin in 2000. A follow-up
volume: Native Trees, Shrubs, and Vines–A guide to using, growing and propagating North American woody plants
was published in June 2002. His new book, Understanding Orchids was published in November, 2004.
