Dear members and friends,
Last month we had a mini-class for those of you feel you are novice growers and who wanted to get information on a variety of topics. The mini-class, led by Kent Hines, was a big success so we’re going to do it again!
Starting at 7:00 pm, we will have a mini-class on basic orchid culture requirements. Kent Hines will be giving you information on a little bit of everything that the basic orchid hobbyist needs to know, pretty much based on the questions you have.
Yes, the Doctor is in! Well, our plant doctor is in. If you have a problem plant, bring it in and during the break we will have our more knowledgeable members take a look and see what the problem is. If your plant looks like it has something contagious; something that might jump, fly or crawl to another plant; please put it into a plastic bag to keep your creeping crud from creeping.
We received $360 from the Redland Orchid Festival for our members who volunteered to assist with ticket sales, the hospitality booth or directing people to parking. Our thanks to Shirley Berckmans, Suzie LaPlant, Maria McMurry, Sue Samuels, and Carlos and Carmen Segrera. Their time and willingness to volunteer (and they all volunteered at the Coca~Cola trailers too) brought in additional funds to the club to pay for speakers, plants, the rent, and a large number of expenses that are incurred throughout the year.
This month’s Speaker: Our speaker this month is Bill Bergstrom of Bergstrom Orchids in Hawaii. Bill will be speaking on Catasetums: weirdos of the orchid world.’ Many of these can be easily grown in South Florida. You too can have bizarre and unusual orchids! .
Cookie bakers for August: Your cookie bakers or buyers for this month are: Pat Chen Yin, Candace McDonald, Ida Ovies, Ann Perry, Catherine Pendlebury and Carmen Segrera. Thank you all for your time and culinary skills.
