A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Dick Pippen [email protected]
Greetings Orchid Lovers—Color flow, balance and correct number of orchids are important considerations in creating an Orchid Display, whereas picket fences, white faux houses, and labels that are too big are definite no-nos in creating an effective display. All this according to Lou Lodyga, our July speaker who really knows what he is taking about. After all, he is the longest active, accredited AOS judge, having started in 1975. Lou is a regular judge in our Annual Orchid Shows. I was pleased that 62 people attended the meeting despite all the heavy downpours around Moorings this evening. We were also pleased to welcome Michael LaRusso and Jaiqi (Jack) Lu, the two summer interns we are sponsoring from Illinois College who are continuing the work on the Ghost and other native orchids in the Panther Preserve and Fakahatchee. Accompanying them was Hannah Baker also from Illinois College interning at the Naples Botanical Garden. Another delight was the mention of a newly registered orchid—Rlc. Memoria Nancy Ginocchio ( Cattleya violacea x Rhyncholaelia digbyana). The cross was made by Jim Longwell at our 2012 Annual Orchid Show (the C. violacea belonging to Nancy Ginocchio and the Rl. digbyana belonging to Dick Pippen) and just recently Jim had one flower so he was able to register it with the Royal Horticultural Society. Thanks a lot Jim!! Nancy Ginocchio was president of the Naples Orchid Society from 2007 – 2011. She passed away in 2014.
Oh yes—even though the Show is still several months away, we need to come up with a theme for the show and determine it earlier this year than before. People at the July meeting had an opportunity to submit suggestions and I will also have the suggestion box at the August and September meetings, so put on your creative thinking caps and come up with your ideas for a theme. Remember the person submitting the winning theme will receive $50. I am looking forward to welcoming Jim and Melana Davison, of Jim N I Orchids as our featured speakers at our August meeting. Both Jim and Melana are AOS judges in the Florida Caribbean Judging Center and have been judges is some of our past shows. They will be speaking about the bellina and gigantea types of Phalaenopsis and they will have orchids available for sale. Hope to see you all then, and until then—keep your orchids happy. Dick

AUGUST--FROM AOS “GROWING ORCHIDS” MONTH-BY-MONTH CHECKLIST by Robert M. Scully Jr.
Summer’s higher temperatures, brighter light conditions & longer days induce orchids to manufacture the greatest amount of carbohydrates when provided with adequate fertilizer. Apply a slightly diluted concentration (2 t. of soluble fertilizer per gallon of water) each week.
Warm temperatures cause insect populations to increase. Pay attention to pest-control management. Observe your plants carefully & spray for both insects & disease when first noticed. Endure the discomforts of patrolling the hot, muggy atmosphere of a greenhouse now in order to maintain healthy orchids this autumn & next winter.
Current high temperatures are particularly stressful for phalaenopsis. In some areas, humidity conditions are quite high. Excessive heat & humidity promote bacterial Pseudomonas infections on the fleshy leaves. Keep light levels subdued & temperatures below 85 F; it may be necessary to operate additional fans to promote sufficient air circulation. Do not irrigate from above (to avoid splashing unseen disease inoculums from plant to plant.) Instead, water plants pot to pot & do not strike (bruise) the turgid leaves with the hose nozzle. Feed these rapid growers frequently to develop the strongest root systems & largest leaves possible prior to winter flowering season.
More Orchid Terms from AOS • Backbulb – An old pseudobulb behind the actively growing portion of a sympodial orchid, often without leaves but still alive & bearing one or more dormant buds (‘eyes’). • Intergeneric hybrid – A hybrid between members of two or more genera. • Intrageneric hybrid – A hybrid between species or hybrids within the same genus. • Velamen – The thick layer of cells covering the roots of epiphytic orchids, which helps prevent water loss from internal tissues.

Our Outreach: Contribution to AOS for Research, Education and Conservation
With unanimous Board approval, Naples Orchid Society, Inc. donated $300 to American Orchid Society (AOS) designated for research, education and conservation. NOS’s donation has been acknowledged in the July 2019 issue of AOS’s ‘ORCHIDS’ magazine, page 486.
AOS Awarded Plants and Displays If you are a member of American Orchid Society, be sure to look at page 541 image #4 of the July 2019 issue of ORCHIDS magazine. Elaine Gates, a member of both NOS and GCOA, is recognized for her delightful Chiloschista lunifera (Alba) ‘Sweet Holiday’ JC/AOS. Elaine named this plant after her daughter Holiday. JC refers to Judges Commendation, an award given for distinctive characteristics that the judges unanimously feel should be recognized but cannot be scored in the customary ways.
The March issue page 223 image #15 of ORCHIDS magazine shows Elaine’s enchanting ‘Garden’s Mini Jewels’ AC/AOS, her awarding winning terrarium from our 2018 Orchid Show at Naples Botanical Garden. Two more members of both NOS and GCOA and their outstanding plants are represented in this issue: Jim Longwell on page 225 image #12 Vanda Ben’s Delight ‘Coffee’ AM/AOS and Eunice Walker on page 225 image #16 Rhyncattleanthe Mildred Hollingsworth ‘SunBulb’ CCM/AOS.

It’s Ghost Orchid Season at Corkscrew Swamp! https://corkscrew.audubon.org/visit/corkscrews-ghost-orchid
NOS Newsletter for August 2019 Page 8 of 20 An Orchid Vignette—Brassocattleya Binosa Contributed by Dick Pippen
It has taken me awhile to decide that I like green orchids. Brassocattleya (Bc.) Binosa has helped me along in this decision. One of the reasons is that it is a hybrid of Brassavola nodosa (Lady of the Night) which is definitely one of my favorite orchids because of its star-shaped flowers with big, flared lips (photo left). Bc. Binosa inherited those characteristics from its B. nodosa parent. Its other parent is Cattleya bicolor. Bc. Binosa is a prefect blend of these two species (in name, too—“bi” from bicolor, “nosa” from nodosa). Brassavola nodosa has green sepals and petals and a white lip. Cattleya bicolor has green sepals and petals and a purple or magenta lip (photo right). Bc. Binosa has green sepals and petals and a white lip with maroon spots! So, although it is considered a green orchid, Brassavola nodosa it has a contrasting brightly colored lip. Cattleya bicolor
The plants are relatively small, usually less than a foot tall with semi-rounded leaves. There are usually several flowers produced on each spike. My plants flower about three times a year. I actually had two different forms of Bc. Binosa. The “regular form,” shown in the top photo above left, has an open lip (and alas, this one has gone to Orchid Heaven), whereas in the other form, shown in the top photo above right, the lip is closed into a tube for about half of its length (and the flowers of this plant are consistently like this), an interesting contrast. This is an old hybrid. The cross was made by R. Tanaka of Hawaii and registered by him in 1950. Bc. Binosa has earned 15 awards given by the American Orchid Society, a combination of AMs, HCCs, and a couple of CCMs (one of which had a whopping number of 166 flowers!!). And four international awards. Binosa has been used as a parent in at least 76 registered crosses and is a “grandparent” in 33 registered crosses. If you like “green” orchids, then there are several other greges that you might want to consider. They include: Blc. Mem. Vida Lee (an offspring of Bc. Binosa), Lc. Green Veil (green sepals, white petals and lip), Blc. Everything Nice 'Showtime' AM/AOS (green sepals, white petals and lip), Epc. Siam Jade ‘Lakeview’ (green sepals, greenish-yellow petals and lip), Blc. Green Dragoon ((green sepals and petals, white long, narrow lip), Blc. Ports of Paradise (large plant, flower all green, fading to greenish-yellow). Somwhere among these, you should find at least one that you like. Go for it!!
NOS Newsletter for August 2019 Page 9 of 20 Education Update Kit Kitchen-Maran Education Chair and Past President Welcome to our 2019 interns! From Illinois College, Jacksonville, Illinois, we have two students of Dr. Larry Zettler: Michael LaRusso and Jiaqi (Jack) Lu. As you know, Dr. Zettler’s students have been studying in the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge for a long time and NOS has funded interns from IC since 2012. Many of these students have gone on to Master’s and Ph.D. degrees. Dr. Zettler has published in scientific journals and lectured at international conferences about information that has been researched each summer on the orchids in the FPNWR by his students. So, the scope of information learned has been shared by a much larger audience worldwide. Yea! NOS! By the way, NOS has been given credit in these papers and lectures for our support. Michael LaRusso will graduate in May of 2020 with a major in biology and environmental science. He has studied aboard in Cuba with Zettler and Dr. Ernesto Mujica, learning the collection techniques critical to obtaining data on orchids in the FPNWR so that the 5th year of this important study can be accomplished. He is also looking forward to study aboard at the University of Stirling in Scotland this fall. Jiaqi (Jack) Lu is a junior in biology and will graduate in May of 2021. He is from Shanghai, China. In the future, Jack wants “to become a field researcher and explore around the world to see the beauty of the creation of nature.” He says that last year his botany class collected plants of different families in different locations in town. He thought it was boring at first, but Dr. Zettler told me that Jack developed an eye for spotting plants and will be a real asset at the refuge since he will be involved in looking for new ghost orchids to add to the ongoing study. Jack found it a real challenge to find the fewer plants in the woods and fields that were rare and he enjoyed seeking the rare. He is going to do that in July in the FPNWR. Taylor Sorrell is the first Naples native to whom NOS has awarded an internship. She graduated from Palmetto Ridge High and is a major in Agricultural Biological Engineering at Purdue University in Indiana. Her dream is “to do research regarding how nutrients affect the disease evolution and progression through agriculture and horticultural means.” Taylor is cognizant of the connection of her goals to Florida’s water problems. She is in a class of 80 students accepted by Purdue in this program and wants to bring her education “back to Florida to make a difference here”. Taylor is paying for her education herself and so “every bit of funding I receive is extremely appreciated.”
Two of NOS 2019 interns, Michael LaRusso (right) and Jack Lu (left) introduced themselves at our July 2019 meeting. Also in attendance was Hannah Baker who is interning at Naples Botanical Garden.

NOS Newsletter for August 2019 Page 10 of 20 Rlc. Memoria Nancy Ginocchio Contributed by Dick Pippen
Following the 2012 Naples Orchid Society Annual Orchid Show Jim Longwell cross-pollinated Nancy Ginocchio’s Cattleya violacea and Dick Pippens’s Rl. digbyana.
In 2019 seedlings grown by Jim Longwell and Jim Roberts (of Florida SunCoast Orchids) bloomed for the first time and Jim Longwell registered the cross with the Royal Horticultural Society as Rlc. Memoria Nancy Ginocchio.
The photo at the left is of the flower on one of the seedling grown by Jim Roberts. Note that it has the fringe around the lip from the Rl. digbyana and the color from the C. violacea, with the shape sort of half-way in between. The pictures below provide a more detailed explanation.

Clyde Butcher’s monumental photographs celebrate the beauty of the natural landscape. The exquisite beauty and depth of his work draw the viewer into a relationship with nature. In the tradition of the nineteenth-century Hudson River School painters, Clyde composes his works at pristine and untarnished locations across the United States and world, creating arresting compositions that distinctly mark him as the foremost landscape photographer in America today. His photography transcends political boundaries, challenging us to work together to protect natural places across the globe.
Although Butcher will always be identified with the Everglades, he is deeply committed to recording precious landscapes throughout the world. The beauty and importance of Butcher’s photography quickly earned widespread recognition resulting in museum exhibits in the United States, an exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Prague celebrating the new millennium, and a request by the United Nations to photograph the mountains of Cuba to celebrate The Year of the Mountains.
