SUMMARY:Graham Ramsey: “Repotting with New Zealand’s Finest”
DESCRIPTION:Our March speaker is Graham Ramsey\,  who will discuss “Repotting With New Zealand’s Finest.” His comprehensive lecture will cover using different orchid media as well as repotting and mounting techniques at 7:30 p.m. March 13.\n\nGraham is an Asheville\, North Carolina  native. Like many orchid enthusiasts\, his first orchid was a white Phalaenopsis purchased at the local hardware store. It wasn’t until Graham’s mother-in-law sent him home with 18 orchids from her Florida home that he realized there was more to orchids than white Phals.\n\nWith his daughter off to college and a mix of orchids to care for\, he co-opted her bedroom and attempted to create the perfect growing space. That is\, until his wife objected to the humidifying of the bedroom! So it was off to the basement to create a full-blown growroom and\, eventually\, a 600-square-foot greenhouse. \nA friend of Graham’s mother-in-law\, the founder of the Western North Carolina Orchid Society\, insisted Graham attend a a WNCOS meeting. In no time\, Graham joined the society’s board serving for six years as president. Currently the vice president\, Graham has served for 10 years as show chair for the society’s annual Asheville Orchid Festival coming up on April 1-2. \nDuring his orchid journey\, Graham met his mentor and friend H.P. Norton of Orchidview. Next followed breeding and growing Phragmipediums\, with a focus on kovachii influenced Phrags – one of Graham’s favorites. \nAfter 18 years\, Graham has a propagation lab\, a new indoor growroom and a greenhouse with about a thousand orchids. He has registered eight new hybrids and received 36 American Orchid Society awards. Graham serves as a member of the AOS Membership and Marketing Committee and the Affiliated Societies Committee. \nAt this meeting\, we will have Orchiata and tree fern mounts and media available for purchase at a significant discount.
