So, renew and get yourself a chance at an orchid plant. 1 SOOS President’s Remarks Mario Ferrusi has a maxim by which he lives insofar as SOOS is concerned. It is “What can I do for the good of the society?”. This seems simple enough. But it has resonance if you stop and think about it. If we have certain abilities, do we offer them up for the benefit of SOOS, or do we let others do so? If we value the society and the rewards which it brings, do we look for ways to improve, enhance, and sustain it? So I commend Mario‟s maxim to you in the days and years to come. It occurred to me a few months ago that SOOS is predominantly a tropical orchid society. Much as I might wish there to be a better balance, a reality check says that this assessment is so. There are at least 2 other aspects to SOOS of From the Atkinson garden which we need to be aware, and not lose sight. They are judging and conservation. The former An unpaid gardener and orchid lover! does enter all of our lives with the show table, Hello fellow orchid lovers. and with our annual Valentine‟s Day weekend show. Conservation of native terrestrial orchids I bear tidings of great joy to all today – we have is part of our charter, and as you know we are a new president! All will be revealed at the striving to restore orchids in areas around the December 6 SOOS monthly meeting. As this is city. If this were the COS – Colombian Orchid the annual potluck Christmas party and auction, Society – and we all lived in Bogota, then the here is even one more reason to mark the day native orchid aspect of the society would be on your calendar or e-calendar. And do not equal if not greater in magnitude than that of forget to bring a dish to share at the potluck, plus other tropical orchids. But in Canada and in a bag of money for the auction. temperate climates, alas, we have fewer of our We have a suggestion box, and I do encourage own to showcase. And for whatever reason, its use. From the Nov. 1 suggestion box we many of these require very particular conditions received this thoughtful note: “My feeling is that in which to thrive. the meetings are now far too long.

And keep those suggestions coming in, please! One last thought on meeting length: we do try to start them sharply at 1 PM, and most will be over by 3 PM or slightly thereafter. 2 Orchid Shows Welcome New Members Linda Will, Gary Pyper, John Van Rompu, Jean and Jonathan Heath Newcomers' Meetings Wayne Hingston will once again present his excellent series on the culture of the most popular types of hobby orchids.

  • The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br
    The Genus Brassavola, (L.) R.Br. in W.T.Aiton, Hortus Kew. 5: 216 (1813) Type: Brassavola [B.] cucullata [bra-SAH-vo-la kyoo-kyoo-LAH-ta] There are 28 species (OrchidWiz [update Dec 2017]) that are epiphytes and sometimes lithophytes at elevations of from sea level to 3300 ft (1000 m) from Mexico, southern Caribbean islands to northern Argentina in moist or wet montane forests, mangroves, rocky crevices and cliff faces. They are most fragrant at night and many with a citrus smell. The genus is characterized by very small pencil-like pseudobulbs, often forming large clumps; a single, fleshy, apical, sub-terete leaf and the inflorescence produced form the apex of the pseudobulb. The inflorescence carries from a single to a few large flowers. The floral characteristics are elongate narrow similar sepals and petals, the base of the lip usually tightly rolled around at least a portion of the column which carries 12, sometimes eight unequal pollina with prominent opaque caudicles. The flowers usually occur, as a rule, in spring, summer and fall. The flowers are generally yellow to greenish white with a mostly white lip. It is not unusual for dark spots, usually purple, to be in the region where the sepals, petals, and lip join the stem (claw). This spotting is a dominant generic trait in Brassavola nodose. They are easily cultivated under intermediate conditions. Although this is a relatively small genus (28 species), the species show an unusually close relationship with one another in their floral patterns, coloration, and column structure making identification difficult, key to know where the plants were collected.

The fifth chapter of the series about Rudolf Schlechter’s South-American orchids introduces us to those botanists and orchid collectors who travelled and worked in Ecuador and Peru and supplied Schlechter with many of the new orchid species he described. As in previous chapters, the biographies and accomplishments of these travellers are preceded by brief geographical and historical outlines for each of these countries. It is worth mentioning that the lives and orchids of such prominent figures in the orchidology of South America as F.C. Lehmann, W. Hennis, E. Bungeroth and E. Ule, who collected in Ecuador and Peru, have already been mentioned in previous chapters and are therefore omitted here. KEYWORDS/PALABRAS CLAVE: biography, biografía, history of botany, historia de la botánica, Orchidaceae ECUADOR.

  • Crippling American Cattleyas–
    Crippling A Genetic issue in Yellow and Art-Shade Cattleyas And an update of primary hybrids associated with American Cattleyas – Species and Outstanding Clones that Defined American Hybridizing Emphasis on Primary Grexes In the June 2010 issue of Orchids, Ron Midgett discussed the little mention (but well known) issue of crippling, a genetic problem, in yellow and art-shade Cattleyas. It was the bane of efforts to breed good nonfading yellow cattleyas because the parents with the best color crippled. Crippling, which caused a thickening of tissue in the petal, became worse with age (the older the plant, the worse the crippling). It would start as a slightly thickened line of tissue running more or less parallel to the long axis of the petal. It is thought that this tissue was an attempt to create another stamen because in the worst cases a knob of tissue would form at the distal end of the thickened tissue. Inside this knob, one could usually find poorly formed but unmistakable pollinia. In the two pictures of Rhyncholaeliocattleya Golden Queen ‘Regina’ (Golden Crown x C. Miguelito), one shows a flower without crippling and the second, taken at a later blooming, show's severe crippling. This disfigurement of the flower was disheartening. Crippling is a genetic problem and continues in future bloomings, it is NOT sporadic (such as cultural related deformities). C. dowiana ‘Amanda Sofia’ AM/AOS It is generally Apr 2016, NS 11.5 x 16.2 cm accepted that the crippling gene came from the use of a particular clone of Cattleya dowiana (hort.

  • Lycaste Lye-KASS-Tee
    Lycaste lye-KASS-tee Lycastes are deciduous in various degrees, from the strongly deciduous, yellow-flowered species like Lycaste aromatica that flowers from leafless pseudobulbs to the evergreen types like Lycaste skinneri with pseudobulbs that retain their leaves at flowering. This genus produces large, long-lasting, showy, triangular flowers that are waxy. The plants are distinctive for their roundish pseudobulbs and broad, plicate (pleated) leaves. Culture for the hybrid genus Angulocaste (Lycaste ϫ Anguloa) follows the culture for the Lycaste parent. LIGHT requirements vary. Deciduous recommended during active growth species require light conditions as for cat- (usually summer); some growers spread tleyas — 2,000 to 4,000 foot-candles or 50 blood meal on the top of the potting medi- to 70 percent shade.

Wita Stwosza 59, 80-308 Gdańsk, Poland. [email protected] Abstract. The floristic, geographical and ecological analysis of the orchid flora of the department of Valle del Cauca are presented. The study area is located in the southwestern Colombia and it covers about 22 140 km2 of land across 4 physiographic units. All analysis are based on the fieldwork and on the revision of the herbarium material. A list of 572 orchid species occurring in the department of Valle del Cauca is presented. Two species, Arundina graminifolia and Vanilla planifolia, are non-native elements of the studied orchid flora. The greatest species diversity is observed in the montane regions of the study area, especially in wet montane forest.
