Oct. 16, 2018 NOS meeting

Greetings Orchid Folks! The NOS will be meeting at the Miller Mall Perkins (off of Trinity Road) this Tuesday. Social time starts around 6:00 with a meeting starting at 6:30. The weather forecast is for a high around 42.

I want to thank again all who could participate in our Engwalls Sale. It went well and thanks also for those who brought the treats and nourishments to keep us going. The display table was amazing. The NOS had 4 new memberships, had a good interest in culture sheets and repotting, and members had over $1850 in sales. Hope you had fun! Next Saturday, Oct 20th, is when Fred Clarke is speaking to the OSM about spotted and flared Catts and their culture. If anyone is interested in ride sharing to hear Fred speak and check out his sale plants, let me know. The OSM meets at Bachmanns at 6010 Lyndale Ave South in Richfield. Programs start at 1:00, but arrive at least by 12:30 to socialize and view the plant table.

Ross has asked me to let you know that he will probably be unable to attend the NOS meetings until later Winter, so if you will be needing bark mix or fertilizer from him please email him so he can bring it to this weeks meeting. Tuesday we will be reviewing the Engwalls Sale, and Fall/ Winter orchid culture tips. We will share strategies that can help promote healthy plants and blooms. Bring your orchids for show, sale or raffle! And any interested friends. Thanks. Hope to see you Tuesday!

Welcome to Northland Orchid Society!

Can you grow an orchid? It's easier than you think and it's fun and rewarding!

Thanks for taking the time to visit the Northland Orchid Society (NOS) website. Whether a beginner or an expert orchid grower, you will find all the wonderful things our site has to offer, and you are welcome to join the society if you are not already involved.

Like the passion you have for orchids, NOS membership is a truly rewarding experience. NOS provides a forum for us to meet and learn from each other on how to grow various kinds of orchids in you home. The annual orchid sale and various guest speaker and orchid show events allow us to share the appreciation and cultivation of orchids as a hobby.

Upcoming events

Saturday, September 15, 2018, the NOS will be having our Fall Sale, Display and Repotting Service at Engwalls Floral Center from 10am to 2pm. Engwalls is located at 4749 Hermantown Road.
