SUMMARY:April 11 speaker: 20 plants you should grow
DESCRIPTION:Please join us at 7:30 p.m. April 11 to hear our very own FLOS member\, Omar Gonzalez\, speak about “Orchids I Would Grow.” His talk will feature 20 orchid on our raffle table! He will be bringing us these orchids to tell us why these plants are special and trendy\, why he is partial to them and he will share cultural tips on how to grow them well. \nOmar\, who is a long-time orchid society member\, hails from Miami\, but spent time in the Midwest\, attending Northland College in Wisconsin. He has a degree in chemistry and by trade\, is a quality control chemist. Growing up\, Omar always loved all kinds of plants and had a particular interest in growing fruits and vegetables. He found that growing the plants that he had cultivated in the Midwest was somewhat difficult in Miami\, so his interest switched to sub-tropical. He became friendly with David McLean\, the late native plant horticulturist from Broward\, who introduced him to orchids – vanilla\, stanhopea and other species.\nAs Omar’s interest in orchids grew\, he amassed a wealth of knowledge going to shows\, attending meetings and learning as much as he could from local growers. He took a trip to visit his sister in California and extended his travels to Hawaii to meet with Sheldon Takasaki from Carmela Orchids. Omar also volunteered at Bonnet House and has developed an interest in flasking. Currently\, Omar is focusing on Brazilian Cattleyas and orchids of Central America. He is a valued member of the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society and is eager to share his orchid expertise with all of us.

SUMMARY:Ron Parsons - The Genus Dendrobium
DESCRIPTION:The Australasian genus Dendrobium is one of the largest genera in the most species rich flowering plant family of the world. More than 1800 species have been described (with likely many more to be discovered)\, and they are found anywhere from the lowland tropics to cool to cold high elevations. They occur from Japan and China to Australia in the south\, and from India in the west to some of the islands of the south Pacific in the east. They occur in a vast variety of habitats too but they tend to generally grow as epiphytes and lithophytes with comparatively few growing terrestrially. My talk is a brief synopsis of this amazing genus that nearly every orchid enthusiast grows. \nWe will be meeting in person at the Church for those who wish to join us. Come early to socialize with your orchid friends again! We will have a snack table\, a raffle table\, and a show and tell plant display\, so bring some goodies to share and an orchid to brag about! \nYou must register in advance to attend the live meeting. A limited number of seats are available. \nZoom opens at 7pm\, meeting starts at 7:30.

SUMMARY:Marni Turkel “Show Me the Plant” - ZOOM only
DESCRIPTION:Our speaker will be Marni Turkel presenting “Show Me the Plant”. \nHow many of us have been disappointed when we finally bloom that plant we bought because the picture of the flower was so beautiful? It turned out to be a very small flower on a very long spike on an ungainly plant. \n“Show Me the Plant” is a presentation that uses images of blooming specimen plants as well as close-ups to consider the whole plant for a sense of proportion and relationship and not the flower in isolation. Marni will be talking about many of her favorite plants and will cover some basic information as well as specific needs for individual plants and strategies for growing specimen plants. This is a chance to see some of the best of her collection and learn how she grows it. \nWe have changed this meeting to ZOOM ONLY in the interest of everyone’s health and safety. Hope to see you all soon. \nZoom opens at 7pm\, meeting starts at 7:30.

SUMMARY:Patricia Harding\, Testing Orchid DNA and  Developing a Family Tree
DESCRIPTION:Our March speaker will be Patricia Harding\, a world traveler\, observer\, photographer\, and writer who    also grows orchids at her Oregon home\, where she has been “stuck” for more than a year. She will talk about testing orchid DNA and developing a family tree\, how it is done and why it works. Sounds        downright scary\, right? Not so! Ms. Harding promises a science-for-the-layman presentation so we  can understand how to make an orchid family tree without knowing the DNA in all the individual   plants—all with a bit of humor and “some pretty orchid pictures.” She will also explain the reasoning behind some of the often-confusing name changes that have occurred in recent years. \n

Dr. Needham joined Longwood Gardens in July 2007\, serving as Vice President of Education until he retired in July 2017.Dr. Needham joined Longwood Gardens in July 2007\, serving as Vice President of Education until he retired in July 2017.\nDr. Needham began growing flowering plants as a child\, and that passion continues throughout retirement. He caught the “Orchid Bug” as a teen from his grandmother and\, in his words\, “never recovered.” He grows hundreds of orchids in cool and warm glasshouses\, designs and cultivates English-inspired perennial borders\, and is working to restore a native prairie. Dr. Needham shares his passion through workshops\, presentations\, tours\, and consulting.\nHis lecture is entitled\, “Photomorphogenic Responses-Phototropism & Photoperiodism.” Yes\, that sounds frightening\, but it really has to do with the effects of light and darkness on plants\, something we all need to learn more about.

SUMMARY:Tom Kuligowski “Creating Better Images of Your Orchids”
DESCRIPTION:“Creating Better Images of Your Orchids” Ever wish you could take better photos of your orchids to share with friends? Join us via Zoom July 13 at 7:30 for a special treat. Professional photographer Tom Kuligowski will show us how to do it.\nTom was bitten by the “Orchid Bug” 20 years ago while photographing a neighbor’s orchids\, documenting the progression of growth through the blooms on the mature plants. He soon started his own orchid collection\, incorporating his artistic abilities with various mediums\, combining his photographic skills to create beautiful photographs of his orchids.\n“You don’t necessarily need a wealth of knowledge to capture images of your orchids. Many of today’s cameras can do the thinking for you.” With this in mind\, Tom teaches orchid hobbyists how to take better pictures of their own orchids. Whether you use a smartphone\, point-and-shoot camera\, or digital single lens reflex camera\, everyone can improve their images. Tom will show us a few simple techniques to create images that will make our photos as beautiful as our orchids. \nClick below to join meeting!

SUMMARY:John Odom- Encyclias
DESCRIPTION:John Odom has been growing orchids for over 50 years and Odom’s Orchids has been at our present location for over 40 years. He graduated from the University of Florida with his B.A. in agriculture.\nWith over 90\,000 square feet of greenhouses\, Odom’s Orchids is one of the largest retail growers and shippers of orchids in the United States. We specialize in Cattleya orchids\, but also grow quite a few other varieties\, including Vandas\, Phalaenopsis\, Lady Slippers\, Oncidiums\, and many species from different genera. Unlike many other orchid growers\, most of our orchids are mature\, blooming size plants\, so you won’t have to wait years for them to bloom.\nTheir greenhouses are located in Fort Pierce\, on Florida’s southeast coast. They are just one mile off of Interstate 95\, two miles off the Florida’s Turnpike\, about one hour north of West Palm Beach\, and about 120 miles north of Miami or Southeast of Orlando. They are open to the public during the week.\n\nHis program will be focusing on encyclias.
