Last night’s orchid meeting took an amusing turn when “naked men orchids” entered the conversation. Who knew orchids could be so cheeky? 🤣

Guest speaker Margery Mayor took us on a virtual journey through Europe’s orchid paradise, sharing beautiful—and occasionally eyebrow-raising—photos from her adventure! 🌸

Linda Castleton showed off a wild one at our August Show & Tell — her Phalaenopsis Tying Shin Fly Eagle is blooming two different colors. Same plant, same moment, full drama.

Intermediate 3rd Place Phalaenopsis japonica Grown by Jan Danciger.

Jan brings in this beautiful species (syn. Sedirea japonica), native to Japan and Korea. Unlike many other Phalaenopsis species, this species grows in cool to intermediate temperatures, although it will probably tolerate warm temperatures (58°F -75°F at night). Grow it in shaded to dappled light conditions. Water heavily while it is actively growing, but the roots must be able to dry quickly after watering. Gradually reduce water from autumn through winter.
