SUMMARY:Larry Cox\, "A Slipper Collection for South Florida"
DESCRIPTION:Larry Cox acquired his first orchid\, a cattleya\, in 1972. His second was a paphiopedilum\, Paph. Maudiae ‘Magnificum.’  The cattleya is long gone\, but he still has a piece of the paph.   When he began with paphs\, he commonly heard\, “You can’t grow those in South Florida\,” but the first one lived and bloomed\, and the paphiopedilum collection continued to grow. In the mid 1980’s most of the other orchids were sold or given away\, all for the love of paphs.  In 1989 he moved from his South Miami residence to a more spacious property in the farming district of southern Miami-Dade County where he built his dream greenhouse of  3000 square feet.  He has suffered setbacks\, such as hurricane Andrew in 1992\, but with perseverance and with the discovery of new paph species \,and the consequent new hybrids\, Larry’s  love of paphiopedilums has been renewed over and over again.  In 1983 Larry won his first AOS award for Paph. Maudiae coloratum ‘Elektra’ AM/AOS\, one of the first vinicolors.  Since then his orchids have earned sixty AOS awards\, including five FCC’s. \nEighteen years ago\, Larry retired from thirty-seven years as a teacher\, the last fifteen teaching Advanced Placement high school English .  He now spends his time reading\, traveling\, maintaining his property and\, of course\, growing paphs.  Larry has experimented with other orchid genera and has found success with lycastes\, phragmipediums\, and pescatoreas.  He has even rediscovered the wonder of cattleyas\, particularly species. \nWe will have our orchid meeting Monday\, September 11\, featuring Larry Cox.  He will be speaking on slipper orchids that are suitable to grow in South Florida.  He has his own collection that have been raised at his home in Miami.  You have an opportunity to reserve your plant before the meeting as seen in the list below.   \nThe plants are mostly divisions from his collection.  He cannot bring all the orchids but will be glad to reserve plants.  Just drop him an e-mail with the name of the plant and preferred price if there is a range.
