Please join us on Sunday, October 13th at the Albuquerque Garden Center10120 Lomas Blvd NE at 1:30 PM when Bridget Uzar will present An Introduction to Tropical Ladyslipper Orchids via Zoom.
Bridget Uzar is a fourth-generation green thumb, and a second-generation orchid grower. Following in her father’s footsteps, she has been at Carter and Holmes Orchids in Newberry SC for over twenty years but has been around orchids her whole life, essentially growing up under the benches.
Bridget began working at Carter and Holmes in 2002 in an everyday potting and watering capacity, eventually being given charge of the collection and breeding houses. She made her first Cattleya cross in 2008 and hasn’t stopped since. Starting in 2009, she began working on the digital photography, catalog publications and other marketing work for Carter and Holmes Orchids. Today, Bridget has been the chief grower and hybridizer at Carter and Holmes for over a decade overseeing greenhouse management and production. She also handles the company marketing emails as well as promotional material and social media.
She enjoys giving talks during open houses, to tour groups and orchid societies.
Meetings are free & open to the public – visitors are welcome.

This sounds like a fantastic meeting—Bridget’s background in both growing and hybridizing is really impressive, and tropical ladyslippers are such a fascinating group. I’ve been trying to learn more about their care, but the humidity and temperature balance still trips me up. If anyone wants a quick visual reference for different orchid types before the talk, I’ve found that using a Free AI Image Generator to create labeled comparison images helps me remember the differences much better. It’s a neat trick for visual learners. Anyway, I’m glad the meeting is open to the public—I’ll be there early to grab a good seat. Thanks for sharing the details!
Hey everyone! I do both occasionally, but I always try to keep it entertaining rather than treat it like a way to make money. Sports betting is more exciting when you've done some research, while online casinos are fun if you set clear limits before playing. I recently spent some time exploring different platforms through https://casino.games/ because I wanted to compare sports betting options and Casino Online features before choosing where to play, and it helped me understand what to look for. For me, responsible play and good platform selection are much more important than chasing big wins.
I enjoy discovering casual styles from television shows because they often translate well into everyday outfits. While searching for inspiration, I came across the Off Campus Outfits roundup and found several looks that could easily work for college, weekend plans, or even casual office days. It’s a useful resource for anyone who likes effortless fashion.
I usually explore fashion websites just for ideas, and The California Jackets has some interesting pieces. This dress stood out because it felt light and fun. The Below Deck Mediterranean S10 Aesha Scott Orange Fish Print Dress looks comfortable enough for everyday wear.
When you spend time on different lifestyle and fashion sites, you start noticing which designs feel wearable in real life. On Vanson Jackets, this jacket felt very balanced in that sense. The dragon ball denim jacket has a calm presence that works well for everyday outfits, not just fandom styling.
