Metal Halides come in 400 watt and 1000 watt sizes. A 400W will cover a 4ft x 4ft area and a lOOOW will cover lOft x 10ft or a little bit more, There are three types of ’High Intensity Lights’ emitting sufficient light to bloom most orchids. available; Mercury Vapour, High Pressure The light from these bulbs is emitted sideways, Sodium and Metal Halide. The Mercury Vapour less light is radiated downwards from the end of produces light mostly at the blue end of the light the bulb. This is OK as plants can be as close as spectrum. As plants need both red and blue light 18 inches from the bottom of the bulb. It is to grow correctly and bloom. Mercury Vapour possible to mount the bulb horizontally and to fit lamps are not very suitable. Plants need ’far red’ a reflector above it to direct most of the light light to initiate the flowering cycle. I once used straight down if this is desired. However, if you some so-called plant growth fluorescent tubes are growing in an enclosed area, say a room in over my early collection of orchids and had no the basement of about 10ft square and coat the flowering until I found out the tubes contained walls and ceiling with white paint, the bulb none of the far-red light that was required.

The situation is constantly under review as to when we might resume. You will be advised immediately if there is a change. Wow, what a virtual benching – Wow, and Wow again. When virtual benching was first proposed I thought it might take members a little while to get on board with the idea. But no, there was terrific participation right from the start and a magical 6 page array of delicious, very professionally presented orchids, was created by Jenny. It included Cattleyas of all kinds and colours, Dendrobiums, Oncidiinae hybrids and rare species. It was just amazing. 14 different members contributed and if you count husbands and wives as separate it would be even more. The Fulchers provided a whole page of photos of orchids in flower from their collection, and even added a little info on each.

Of all the families of plants orchids are the largest. There are an estimated 750 to 1,000 genera and more than 25,000 species of orchids known today, with the number growing each year! The largest number of species is found in the Dendrobium (1,500 spp), Bulbophyllum (1,500 spp), and Pleurothalis (1,000 spp) genera. They are found on every continent in the world with the largest variety found in Asia. There are even species which use hot springs in Greenland to grow. Orchids can be epiphytic (growing high in the trees), terrestrial (growing in the ground), lithophytes (grow on rocks), and a few are saprophytic (living off decaying vegetation). The family is prized for its beautiful and diverse flowers. The only plant with an economic value to the common man is vanilla, which is a commonly enjoyed flavoring. The hybridizing of these flowers has become a major economic force worldwide for cut flowers and cultivation of plants by hobbyists.

A 24-year-old artist named Nellie Roberts¹ was hired for the post, and began work as from the meeting of 12 January 1897. Thereafter every orchid that was given an award by the Society’s Orchid Committee, whether species, cultivar, or hybrid, had its portrait painted, so that future generations of judges would have a record of what had been considered award-worthy in the past, as a basis for deciding whether orchids put forward for awards represented a true advance on their predecessors.
