Honolulu Orchid Society Zoom January General Meeting - "The Goldilocks Zone: A Review of Intermediate Orchids and How to Grow Them". By James Keach, PhD.

 

Description:

A lot of times we find ourselves restricting which orchids we try to grow based on our conditions and the reputation of a group of orchids. But did you know there are Cattleya and Vanda relatives which can survive light frosts? Or Masdevallias and Cymbidiums which bloom near the equator? Join us for an overview of some 'intermediate' orchids, which don't need things too hot or cold, and some tips for finding and growing them. 

We are inviting all of the orchid societies, schools and clubs in Hawaii to this Zoom meeting. James is an outstanding speaker and knowledgeable orchidist.

2021 11 02 Invitation to Join HOS November Meeting on 11/10/2021

Calvin Abe’s “Tokyo Dome” Orchid Show Highlights by Linda Inouye

Date: November 10, 2021
Time: 7:00 p.m. Hawaii (9:00 p.m. PST)

Do you miss orchid shows? This month travel with Calvin Abe back to 2015, 2016 and 2019 to visit the Japan Grand Prix International Orchid and Flower Shows held in the Tokyo Dome. See spectacular displays and award-winning individual orchids. Peek behind-the-scenes at how the elaborate displays are constructed.

Calvin is an award-winning orchid grower. He taught graphics and photography at Pearl City High School for many years. When he fell ill in 2003, Calvin received several orchids that soon needed his care to survive, so he set out to learn about orchid culture. After retiring in 2005 and having more time to devote to his new hobby, he volunteered at an orchid nursery, where he gained valuable hands-on experience, and was introduced to the subject of tonight's presentation.

November’s meeting will also feature an auction of orchids and other items donated by Honolulu Orchid Society members and friends. Plants and items for local pickup only. HOS welcomes guests from Hawaii orchid clubs and others interested in orchids. Presentation via Zoom video conferencing.

Please register by November 9
