2019 09 Monthly Members' Meeting - Topic on Neofinetia Falcata

Our September 2019 meeting topic was on Neofinetia Falcata, or Fukiran (富貴蘭) as Japanese would call it.  Mr. Leland Nakai was the speaker, and we got to see how he creates the mount of long sphagnum moss. 

2019 07 July Members' Meeting - Topic on Greenhouse Building with EZ Corner

These are the materials from the July 2019 lecture at the meeting, on building greenhouse using EZ Corner, by Mel W, Calvin A, and the rep from EZ Corner.  Unless you are the lucky one to have a big tree in your back yard under which you can grow the orchids like in nature, it'd be nice to have a green house so the plants don't burn in the sun.  There are different ways to make it, and here is just one of the ideas.

2019 08 26 August Members' Meeting - Topic on Tillandsia Culture

We had very interesting lecture by Mr. Ralph Nakama on Tillandsia.  Tillandsia by themselves are enjoyable but they also complements to orchids.  Lots of ideas!  Remember to use the right glue to mount them, as Ralph said.

2019 06 June Monthly Meeting guest speaker on vanilla

June 2019 meeting's guest speaker was Mr. Chris Kadooka from UH, on how to grow vanilla plant.  Very interesting lecture and demo.  Thanks Chris!

Here is a vanilla cutting and a cattleya plant for everybody to take home.

2019 04 22 April Members' General Monthly Meeting

We had Roy Tokunaga as a guest speaker last night, sharing us with his new experiments and thoughts on growing orchids.  He said it was for "beginners", but was it!?  It sure sounded much deeper.....

We, the Aiea Orchid Club, are very lucky to have informative and interesting speakers every month, and appreciate the program chair person for the arrangements.
