Amazing Soft-Leaved Orchids

The April society meeting will be an in person meeting with Tim Cultberson. We will be meeting at Toucan Terrace for a pot luck lunch, silent auction, and orchid show-and-tell, followed by an informative talk on Pescatorias. Please bring food to share by 11:30AM so we can begin the meeting at noon. At the meeting Tim be sharing a presentation entitled “Amazing Soft-Leaved Orchids.” These plants are easy to grow and flower, are vigorous, and have low cultural demands beyond the needs for heat and water. Genera in this group, including Pescatorea, Cochleanthes, Bollea, and Huntleya, are under-represented in collections of mixed genera; their beautiful (and often blue) flower colors argue favorably for their inclusion, as does their tendency to produce specimen plants quickly when grown well. By the end of this presentation, you will have a new appreciation of what goes into breeding trends for these types of plants, as well as an appreciation of their beautiful flowers and ease-of-growth. Location: Toucan Terrace, 955 Terry Dr, Pismo Beach.
