NO Monthly meeting on Aug. 15, 2017.

Orchid speaker event on Friday, August 18th at Engwalls Garden Center -From Gary

Hello Orchid Enthusiasts!

The NOS will not meet as usual on Tuesday. Instead you are invited to a special speaker event on Friday, August 18th at Engwalls Garden Center. We will have a social/ sales time at 6:00 and the meeting will start around 6:30. It is ok to come late if you need to. Engwalls is located at 4749 Hermantown Road just past the Haines Road. Engwalls will not be open at that time so if the driveway to the Garden Center has a cable across it, drive past the Floral Center and drive down the gravel road on the right to the Garden Center.

Tim Culbertson will talk about Sarcochilus orchids and will have plants for sale. Tim will also have some paphiopedilums for sale I think! See the attachment for more info. He says that there are new breeding advancements for Sarcochilus, and they are vigorous and not difficult. The American Orchid Society happens to have a great article on Sarcs in their August magazine.

Please try to make it to this event on Friday! Check out the plants and have some fun orchid conversations. Always a good opportunity to ask questions and improve our orchid growing too. Will be good to see you... bring a friend if you want!

Thanks much, Gary

Like the passion you have for orchids, NOS membership is a truly rewarding experience.
