It is also our aim to disseminate information pertaining to their culture and hybridization. www.NaplesOrchid Society.org NOS Newsletter for December 2019 Page 2 of 21 A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT Dick Pippen [email protected] Greetings Orchid Lovers—Wow!! Give him a pair of (special) pliers and some wire from Home Depot and Jim Longwell will show you some really neat tips and tricks for your orchids. This is what we were treated to at our November monthly meeting. Thanks Jim, great job! Ah yes, November also means that it is time for many of our seasonal members to reappear. It was good to see you again. Welcome back!! November also means that it is time for our Official Annual Members Meeting during which we hold the election of the Board of Directors for the coming year. The report on the election and the slate of Officers and Board members for 2020 appears elsewhere in this newsletter. I want to thank our 2019 Board of Directors for all their efforts and good work, and I look forward to working with our “new” Board of Directors during 2020. Most importantly, I want to thank all of you, the members of our Society, for your faith in your BOD. With your help we will do our best to make the Naples Orchid Society better and stronger. What was it that Barry Manilow always wanted to bring back—“that lonesome feeling.” Well, we don’t want to bring back a lonesome feeling but apparently a number of our newer members have been feeling lonesome—especially when it comes to competing with some of our more experienced exhibitors on the monthly plant table. So, with that cheesy introduction, I want to tell you that we are bringing back the Novice Table. Some of you will recall that we used to have the Novice Table, but it fell into disuse and we needed the space for more Cattleyas and other orchids. The Novice Table is essentially for first time exhibitors, you can exhibit your plants on a separate table, and they will be voted on separately from the regular plant table exhibits. We are in the final stages of perfecting the “rules and regulations” and we will have the information available and start this in January. Speaking of next year—just a gentle reminder that our Annual Orchid Show will be the last weekend in February the 23-24. In preparation for the show our January and February monthly meetings will be devoted to workshops on creating containers, flower arrangements, filling out the green tags and how to compete with your friends for ribbons and awards. It is hard to believe that 2019 is almost over, just a month to go—but a good month—December. Not only because of the holidays but most importantly because on the 5th of December we have our Annual Holiday Potluck-Party. I am looking forward to seeing all of you there for our end-of-the-year celebration. Oh, and by the way, bring lots of good things to eat!! Until then keep your orchids happy. Dick P.S. What’s blooming in my collection these days—Guarianthe Barbara Kirch, a cross between Guarianthe aurantiaca and Guarianthe bowringiana, two very well known species. I got this at our sale of George Gallipeau’s orchids in June 2013. Nice little flowers. Took five years for the plant to bloom, but it was worth the wait. Used to be a Cattleya, but now a .

    Tuckers Orchid Nursery Presents… Orchids for Everyone Editor: Cathy Hine 1370 East Coast Road. Redvale, Auckland, NZ. Ph (09) 473 8629 Website: www.tuckersorchidnursery.co.nz Issue 26: March 2013 FROM ROSS THE BOSS Welcome back – This has been one of the hottest and driest summers I can remember for a few years. Your orchids will be smiling if you have been able to keep watering and feeding regularly. I was talking to a couple of commercial cymbidium growers, and they have noticed an increase in the number of flower spikes this year, because of last year’s poor light levels – too much cloud and raincover in summer, so they are predicting a tri-fecta pay out this year. Some are spiking from the bulbs that didn’t produce last summer. They have produced this year’s normal spiking, and an increase because of the high light levels and good temperatures – not too hot. If you don’t get a good flowering this year is not the weather conditions it’s your (the growers) fault. Not enough water and food. So get to it. It’s still not too late to produce spikes. Other genera have been similarly affected. Phalaenopsis have grown huge leaves because of the heat. Paphs have lots of new growths showing. Odontoglossums new larger bulbs and plenty of spikes showing, and cattleyas have lots of new growths and good flowering of the mature growths. I hope it continues along these lines throughout the year – and it truly will be a good Orchid Year. This month we feature Cattleyas as we have many new releases onto the web and lots of new cattleyas for the Orchid Club members.
  • Nomenclature

    Nomenclature

    NOMENCLATURE The written language of Horticulture The Written Language of Horticulture To write the names of orchids correctly we must understand the differences between species and hybrids, know the abbreviations for the various species and hybrids and follow a few simple rules The Written Language of Horticulture 1. A species orchid occurs naturally in nature. Plants of the same species sometime vary in shape and colour. These are called varieties and given a special varietal name. 2. A hybrid is a cross between species or hybrids or a species and a hybrid. (A Primary hybrid is a cross between two species.) (A Natural hybrid is a cross that occurs naturally in nature.) The Written Language of Horticulture As an example we will look at the cattleya family species abbreviation Brassavola B. Cattleya C. Laelia L. Sophronitis Soph. Broughtonia Bro. The Written Language of Horticulture When a Cattleya is crossed with a Brassavola it becomes a Brassocattleya, abbreviated Bc. When a Cattleya and Laelia are crossed it becomes a Laeliocattleya, abbreviated Lc. When a Brassocattleya is crossed with a Laelia it becomes a Brassolaeliocattleya, abbreviated Blc. When a Brassolaeliocattleya is crossed with a Sophronitis it becomes a Potinara, abbreviated Pot. When a Broughtonia is crossed with a Cattleya it becomes a Cattletonia, abbreviated Ctna. The Written Language of Horticulture Why make these crosses 1. The Brassavola imparts large frilly labellums to the cross. 2. The Sophronitis imparts yellow, red, orange to the flowers. 3. The Broughtonia imparts dwarf structure, miniature clusters, good shape and flowers several times per year LET US NOW LOOK AT HOW TO WRITE THE NAMES OF ORCHIDS The following are a few rules that will assist in writing orchid names.

I began growing orchids as an offshoot from working at Longwood Gardens in Philadephia just after college. I have an diverse collection of nearly 3000 Paphs, including awarded and select clones of historic importance. I also do a little hybridizing of my own, and growing up my own babies is a blast. I am the youngest accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and have served in various capacities with different societies in California and on the East Coast. I love meeting other orchid people, and doing so often finds me traveling to shows, vendors, and peoples’ greenhouses to see the latest and greatest in new hybrids and to get the best orchid gossip. In addition to Longwood, I’ve worked at the Smithsonian Institution tending to their orchids, and for years for the United States National Arboretum, collecting rare plants and documenting cultivated species and hybrids for their herbarium.

  • Orchid Culture Notes for Beginners

    Orchid Culture Notes for Beginners

    ORCHID CULTURE NOTES For Beginners Wayne Hingston Southern Ontario Orchid Society Revised 2007 09 01 Prologue The culture of orchids cannot be simply communicated on one page due to the large size of the orchid family. Different orchids require different conditions. Different people and their accompanying lifestyles, produce unique cultural conditions. Therefore, the following notes attempt to outline successful strategies that you can use and then modify them to suit your individual situation. Whenever possible, correct terminology is used, so a glossary is provided. Orchid literature is contradictory in relation to cultural information due to individual biases of the authors and their experience. As much as possible, my personal bias has been minimized or at least identified. This booklet has been prepared as the focal point of a series of meetings scheduled for the Southern Ontario Orchid Society (SOOS) newcomers or members that feel they require more information. The meetings are discussion based with example plants and practical demonstrations of repotting, division of plants and pests. Each member is encouraged to read the relevant sheets prior to each meeting to allow more time for dealing with the main areas of confusion and concern. If you miss a meeting, come early to the next meeting to clarify any main points in the notes that cause you confusion. Knowing the identity of your plants is very important to learning what conditions are needed for the culture. Questions about short forms or naming systems for orchids may be clarified by the notes. If a plant has no name, it is desirable to at least place it within a group (genus) of orchids.
