Pat is the proprietor of Kingfisher Orchids in Deep Cove, British Columbia, and a very accomplished grower and breeder of Phalaenopsis. He is also an excellent speaker with lots of practical information to share on how to optimize plant health and blooming. At our February meeting he will be focusing on Phalaenopsis and sharing information on some beautiful new hybrids. Pat is also bringing plants to sell. There’s still time to pre-order if you want something special – you should have received a plant list and ordering information by e-mail recently (if you missed it, e-mail [email protected] and we’ll send it to you again). Check out the Kingfisher website (www.kingfisherorchids.ca) and contact Pat directly ([email protected]) to pre-order. Who Is Patrick Van Adrichem?

At Kingfisher Orchids, Pat and Cathy specialize in warm growing orchids such as Phalaenopsis and Dendrobium. Pat has been breeding and cloning his own orchids for many years, and has many crosses registered with the Royal Horticultural Society in England. Over the years Kingfisher Orchids has won over 35 American Orchid Society awards for flower quality, culture, and displays. Currently Kingfisher is breeding to create new hybrids in red, yellow, and art shades, as well as cloning selected species and virus-free hybrids. When not ‘playing’ with his orchids, Pat owns a local business, Service First Ltd., and can often be seen sport fishing for salmon and halibut! Culture Session Our February session should be fun and inspiring. Carol Albert will discuss how to make displays of 1 to 5 plants for exhibition. Carol is really, really good at this, as anyone who has seen the Alberts’ orchid displays at shows can attest. The smaller displays at Orchid Fair are often the nicest, and most people can muster a blooming plant or two for a display. So think about entering! Carol will show you how to make a little gem of your own. Left: The Enchanted Forest, Darrell and Carol Albert’s exhibit at Orchid Fair 2016.

Auch meiner Schwester Ira gebührt Dank, auch sie war mir immer eine Stütze und Hilfe, und immer war sie da, für einen guten Rat und ein offenes Ohr. Dank auch an meinen Sohn Igor, der mit viel Verständnis akzeptierte, dass in dieser Zeit meine Prioritäten an meiner Diplomarbeit waren, und mein Zeitbudget auch für ihn eingeschränkt war.

The following six phytogeographic regions (at the rank of floristic province) are distinguished and outlined within eastern Indochina: Sikang-Yunnan Province, South Chinese Province, North Indochinese Province, Central Annamese Province, South Annamese Province and South Indochinese Province. Short descriptions of these floristic units are given along with analysis of their floristic relationships. Special floristic analysis and consideration are given to the Orchidaceae as the largest well-studied representative of the Indochinese flora. 1. Background The Socialist Republic of Vietnam, comprising the largest area in the eastern part of the Indochinese Peninsula, is situated along the southeastern margin of the Peninsula.

Rusea1, M.Y.L. Lim1, S.N. Phoon2, W.S.Y. Yong2, C.H. Tang1, H.E. Khor1, J.O. Abdullah1, J. Abdullah3 Key words Abstract To date, a total of 288 species from 96 genera were identified from the limestone areas in Perlis and Padawan-Bau, Sarawak, of which many of these are restricted to limestone habitat and either endemic to Perlis or conservation to Sarawak. Knowledge and data obtained from the field observation over the past 8 years leads us to report that diversity at least 15 species endemic to limestone has become rare in the wild in Perlis, Bau and Padawan Sarawak. This limestone orchids was mainly attributed by: i) lack of emphasis by the government on understanding and protecting biodiversity in Malaysian this kind of habitat; ii) lack of scientists willing to do research in dangerous and disaster prone limestone habitat; threat and iii) lack of knowledge and awareness among local communities on the importance of conserving and utilizing their natural resources in a sustainable manner. Published on 30 October 2009 INTRODUCTION Material AND METHODS Orchids are the largest flowering plant family in Malaysia In both areas limestone hills and some adjacent landscape (including Sabah and Sarawak) with about 2 000 species, of features were selected for this survey (Table 1). In Sarawak, two which 700 are recorded from limestone. Threats to orchids on rivers were included that flow through the limestone hills and limestone include small-scale logging (extracting timber by valleys.

Be sure to catch all the changes to our activities as we social distance. While we normally meet at the Civic Garden Center, we plan, at present, to meet online with Zoom. We will be emailing Zoom meeting information for our society and for other societies as they offer their meetings to our members. We are also sharing members’ orchids with an online Show-and-Tell. Presidents Note Greetings I hope everyone is continuing to stay Photo by Rick Noel healthy during the start of this new year. Unfortunately, we will be continuing zoom meetings for the foreseeable future until things get back to normal which I believe they will. So far, our zoom meetings have been well received by our membership. Please let us know if you have any thoughts on potential topics/speakers going forward. We are also fortunate to have been invited to other nearby society zoom meetings which is a big plus for all our members. The board has decided that we will not be having a spring or fall show. If things change sooner than later then we might entertain having the fall show. Few things are written in stone and we have to remain fluid on events being planned for the rest of the year. We continue to work with MVOS on the possibility of having an Orchid Fest this fall but like the shows it will only happen if it is allowed by local health authorities. We hope it happens so that we all get together in person again.

This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract A comprehensive study on the orchid diversity in Penang Hill, Penang, Malaysia was conducted from 2004 to 2008 with the objective to evaluate the presence of orchid species listed by Curtis (J Strait Br R Asiat Soc 25:67–173, 1894) after more than 100 years. A total of 85 species were identified during this study, of which 52 are epiphytic or lithophytic and 33 are terrestrial orchids. This study identified 57 species or 64.8% were the same as those recorded by Curtis (1894), and 78 species or 66.1% of Turner’s (Gar- dens’ Bull Singap 47(2):599–620, 1995) checklist of 118 species for the state of Penang including 18 species which were not recorded by Curtis (1894) and the current study but are actually collected from Penang Hill. A comparison table of the current findings against Curtis (1894) and Turner (1995) is provided which shows only 56 species were the same in all three studies. The preferred account for comparison was Curtis’ (1894) list as his report was specifically for the areas around Penang Island especially Penang Hill, Georgetown and Ayer Itam areas.
