Welcome to the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society! We are a fun group that enjoy:

• our GREAT monthly newsletter
• meeting to learn from a presentation, munch on snacks, look at members’ plants, and participate in a raffle
• checking out books from our library
• traveling together to visit orchid nurseries or other members’ homes on our famous rambles
• hosting the annual Fort Lauderdale Orchid Show
• parties!

You’ll find enjoyment and useful information whether you are brand new to growing orchids or have many years of experience. Come as a guest – no obligation – and see how you like it! The Internet is awash in data but there’s nothing like finding out what works and what doesn’t work from a neighbor or friend.

Past meeting

Dr. Ruben Sauleda of Ruben in Orchids gave two talks in one night! A presentation on flasking and deflasking included info on the early stages of propagation. Pollination, germination, fertilization. Rinse, repeat. Then came a Powerpoint with fabulous photographs of his favorite orchids, many taken in situ in Columbia (his wife’s homeland.)  Lots of funny stories too. Great night. Thank you very much Ruben! Be sure to visit his website http://www.rubeninorchids.com/
