. PRESIDENT- DESIGNATE MESSAGE
Hi everyone, As of July 1st I will be your new President. I take on this role with some trepidation as I will be responsible for the smooth running of your Society, as well as the fun stuff such as Christmas socials, auctions, outings and such. I promise that I will do my best, but please bear with me as public speaking is not my forte and being a senior...words frequently disappear into outer space..only to re-appear in the dead of night! Our May meeting was a great ending to the season and our speaker from Puerto Vallarta, T.J. Hartung, was very entertaining and informative. In lieu of an honorarium, T. J. asked us to purchase a tile to be installed in the Vallarta Botanical Garden Conservatory. I am happy to report that André is making arrangements to purchase two tiles with our OOS logo on a white background. As you will see later in the newsletter, the show table was laden with a fantastic display of orchids...we must be doing something right in Ottawa! We finished off our meeting with a volunteer raffle of orchids generously donated by Lynne and Santos of Exotic Orchids Plus and some other items from our members. Not to be overlooked was the delicious cake and other goodies provided by Barbara Wysocka. Cheers, Janet Johns

Please note; Pre orders for Piping Rock should be arranged directly with Glenn Decker. Pre order list for Orquideas del Valle is on the last page of this Spike. PICNIC The BBQ hosted by Lynne Guimond and Santos Peixe of Exotic Orchids Plus will be held on Sunday, July 12 from 11:00 am, rain or shine. You and your family are invited. Please bring your chair and let the cook know how many to expect at 613- 525-0164 or Email at [email protected] Their address is 20474 Concession 8, Green Valley, Ontario. A map is available on their web site: www.exoticorchidsplus.ca Bring your cheque book...there will be lots of orchids to tempt you in the greenhouse. A contribution of a salad, appetizer etc. would be appreciated...check with Lynne a few days before. ELECTION The new Board is as follows: President, Janet Johns Vice President, Dave Cooper Treasurer, Doug Vye Secretary, Henriette Watkins Past President, Jean Hollebone COC Representative, Joyce Medcalf AOS Representative, Margaret Hayden Editor, Jan Johns (not Janet Johns!) **Membership- Vacant Conservation Representative- Vacant Facebook- Vacant ** We are looking for someone to take over membership from Helen Nitschkie but she has agreed to stay on until someone steps forward and will be happy to mentor them through the first couple of months. This position requires basic computer skills and attendance at monthly meetings. The most important requirement though, is a friendly smiling face to greet people as they come through the door! 2016 SHOW VENUE Your Show co-chairs, Dave Cooper and Janet Johns (yes, they wear many hats) are working hard to finalize the location of the 2016 Show. There has been a very positive response from the membership for a move to the RA Centre on Riverside Drive but, as in all moves, there are details to iron out. I am happy to report, though, that negotiations are proceeding smoothly and we are almost ready to sign a contract. The RAC have been most accommodating and a pleasure to work with. 2015 SHOW Our Show was a financial success. We made a profit of $4,658.38 thanks in part to an increase in our admission charge, a hanging fee for the Art Gallery and a successful raffle. We had good attendance and even had a bus load of seniors all the way from Kingston. Needless to say, none of this would have been possible without the hard work of our volunteers, so again, thank you so much. Just to show the length that our members are willing to go...Doug Vye and Brian Peever arrived at the Toronto airport around midnight the night before our show, rented a car, and drove back to Ottawa in time for Brian to set up his sales table and Doug to take up his duties as Treasurer before the Show opened at noon...WOW!
HERE COMES THE JUDGE! Our congratulations go to André Couture on becoming a fully accredited AOS judge after many years of hard work learning about thousands of orchids and counting thousands of blooms at the Judging Centre.

AN EMAIL RECEIVED FROM T.J. HARTUNG Photos by Arlene Lang.
We are back home after a whirlwind tour of New England and East- Central Canada. I spoke before 13 different orchid societies (about 450 people) in 25 days. We met a lot of wonderful, charming people and enjoyed very gracious hospitality at every stop. Our only regret is that we would have liked to stay longer and get to know the people better, maybe next time. Until then, we have memories and friendships that will last forever.
Donations (in lieu of speaking fee and travel expenses) are starting to arrive at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, and the staff there is thrilled with the amounts. A couple of designs for tiles have also arrived. Bob, the curator, loves the idea of a tile for each orchid society, arranged around a tile of the map of my speaking tour. Should be quite an attention getter, and helps to promote the orchid societies, both individually and as a group.
In my talk I mentioned that the Vallarta Botanical Gardens is one of ten gardens worth traveling to. A list of these was published in USA Today a few weeks ago. Here is the link to the article: http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/destinations/10greatplaces/2015/05/15/botanic- gardens/27295173/
Please share it with all and sundry. And give my best wishes to everyone in your orchid society. We think of you often.
T.J. & Helen
A WELL- DESERVED AWARD FOR MARILYN LIGHT
At the COC AGM in Saskatoon this year the delegates awarded Marilyn Light the COC Certificate Award for long time service to the Canadian Orchid community. Marilyn has served COC in a variety of roles since its founding meeting in Vancouver. She has been our long time Conservation Chair, she has served as President, she and her husband have provided us with educational slide and DVD programs, and she has lectured widely across Canada and the world. Marilyn has authored books and many articles about orchids and orchid culture. She has done research on our native orchids and is an active member of the Orchid Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature. She is also a member of the Ottawa Orchid Society. As conservation chair she has kept us abreast of developments in international and Canada wide regulations respecting importation and export of orchid plants, a necessary but often unthankful job. As you retire from COC conservation chair, we thank you Marilyn for your long distinguished service to the Canadian orchid community. Peter Poot.

REPORT FROM THE AMERICAN ORCHID SOCIETY SPRING MEETING IN PORTLAND, OREGON APRIL 27- MAY 2, 2015
The American Orchid Society is important to our Ottawa Society as it is the umbrella governing body that sets the dates, rules and conditions and provides the judges for our own Orchid Show. The AOS went through a rough period a few years back, having to sell its headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida and losing many members. It has been a long hard struggle but the AOS has turned their misfortunes around. The Society is once again financially solvent, growing again and gaining members every month, and is very actively involved in research, conservation, educational and IT projects which will benefit members and the AOS affiliated societies. At the recent spring meeting the mood was upbeat as members can now see very positive progress. I'd like to share with you some of the items that the President Frank Smith mentioned in his opening address to members: 1. The AOS now has a signed contract with Fairchild Botanical Gardens in Miami, Florida which gives the Society secure accommodation for 20 years. The AOS does not have to pay rent, taxes or liability insurance. This is a very good deal for the AOS. 2. On the second floor of the Visitor’s Center, the new AOS library is under construction. We have wanted a permanent library for over 40 years and by late July this will become a reality. Ken Roberts and the Library Committee have worked hard on the plan and will be overseeing the transfer of our stored library to the new facility. The library will serve as a major reference centre but we are also looking at a mechanism for loaning books to members. 3. Scanning project. All back editions of AOS magazines are being scanned. We will have a great search engine on line which will allow access to information back to the beginning of publication, almost 100 years. This will be a great aid for those wanting to research specific genera, etc. 4. We have launched OrchidsPlus, a searchable data base on orchid genera, species and hybrids on line and already have updated it twice. This is a continuing process. We are offering webinars to our members on a monthly basis and have over 2000 participants from many countries. Webinars are also being used by some societies in their meetings in lieu of a speaker. 5. Under the lead of the Treasurer, every expense the AOS incurs has been looked at with the goal of streamlining and cutting expenses. By the end of 2015, we anticipate that expenditures will be well under budget by approximately 150K. 6. We are working on a brand new website. The website will be rebuilt this year, and will be easier to search. This was approved by the Board and work has already started on it. There will be new features such as an updated membership site, as well as a kids corner. It will be a great tool for members. 7. We have had positive membership growth since August of last year. The AOS now has 500 more new members than 9 months ago and the positive trend is continuing. 8. The new digital membership is a great success. Over 10% of the membership is now digital. As you can see the AOS is very busy with new projects and activities which will be available over the next few months to help us, as members, learn, grow and show our orchids even more successfully.

Bringing Home New Orchids By Sue Bottom, [email protected]
I love bringing home new orchids. Sometimes I buy large plants in bloom but more often than not I bring home seedlings that I can watch grow up and bloom for me the first time.
Selecting Blooming Plants. You buy plants for any number of reasons; because you like the flower, you like the plant growth habit or you like the parentage and have great hopes for the future flower. If you are buying a plant in bloom, be sure to look beyond that gorgeous flower and take a careful look at the plant itself. Healthy Root System. You know a healthy root system is the key to a plant that will bloom well for you. Any plant you buy should be fully established in the pot. Pick it up by its vegetation and the pot should lift with the plant. If the plant is wobbly in the pot, it is either newly repotted and thus not established or there is a problem with the roots and you will have to nurse it back to health. Orchid Society shows and festivals are great opportunities to shop for orchids. You’ll get the best blooms from plants that are vigorous growers. Look at the pseudobulbs or canes to see if they are plump, hard and full. If the bulbs are shriveled or wrinkled, the plant could be dehydrated from root problems or suffering from a disease like fusarium.
13
Dreaming about what you might find at an orchid show? Turgid and Unmarked Leaves. Leaves should be full and hold themselves upright. Fleshy leaved phal leaves should be thick and turgid, with no droopiness or other signs of dehydration. Mature cattleya leaves should be hard with the texture of cardboard. Thin leaved orchids like the Oncidiinae should be unwrinkled. The leaves should be a healthy green with no markings, except possibly for the reddish pigmentation that happens when orchids are grown in very bright light. Yellow, brown or black markings or edges may be indicative of a bacterial or fungal disease. Do not be overly concerned if there is an occasional blemish on the plant if it otherwise looks happy and healthy. Absence of Pests and Diseases. You want a plant this is pest free. Check the base of the plant, in leaf axils and other hidden spots and make sure there are no scale, mealybugs or other crawling insects present. A diseased orchid may have yellow or black spotting, shriveling, soft spots, etc., all of which should flash a warning sign to you when you are selecting a plant to bring home. If in flower, make sure there is no color break in the flower that can be a sign of virus.
If you’re selecting seedlings from a tray of similar seedlings, choose for vigor, the biggest bulb, the widest and thickest leaf, etc. Then ask the orchid grower which one he thinks you should choose and why. Seedlings and Near Blooming Size Plants. Seedlings are fun to bring home because you can spend hours imagining what the bloom might look like when it finally opens. If you are selecting a plant from a seedling tray, look for the one with the thickest bulbs and leaves. I often ask the orchid grower which seedling he would select and why, you’ll get lots of interesting insights. One grower said to choose a plant that had not yet bloomed, under the assumption that if it had bloomed and had a great flower, that plant would no longer be for sale.
14
Bring New Plants Home. If you grow cattleyas, scale is your arch nemesis. After many years of battling scale, the growth inhibitor Distance (it isn’t cheap!) finally allowed me to declare the greenhouse a scale free zone. Imagine my surprise when I noticed scale emerging on some of the new plants I brought home. They appeared clean when I selected them, but several months later I noticed the tell tale hlorotic spotting and white patches. Clearly scale was lurking under the rhizome or paper sheathing of my new plants. The books all tell you to isolate plants for several months when you bring them into your growing area so you can catch problems without spreading them to the rest of your collection. I find I can’t resist the urge to group plants together as soon as I bring them home, new phals with old phals, new cattleyas with old cattleyas, etc. so the plants all get the proper light and water. I obviously needed a better plan for handling new orchids. Apply a Protective Drench. Once you get home and before you introduce your new plant to the growing area, apply a protective drench through the potting media. There are a variety of pesticides that contain the active ingredient imidacloprid, a systemic insecticide that can be introduced to the plant via the roots and absorbed throughout the plant. It will kill scale, mealybugs, etc. from the inside out without your having to spray it on leaf surfaces like you would a contact pesticide. Imidacloprid bearing pesticides come in a wide variety of strengths. If you have the insecticide that contains 0.47% imidacloprid, add 3 ounces to a gallon of water (23 mg/l) and pour it through the pot to thoroughly drench the growing media (1 oz/gal (8ml/l) for the 1.47% strength, 2 oz/gal (16 ml/l) for the 0.74% strength, etc.). The Bayer Three in One product also contains a systemic miticide for residual control of spider mites as well as a systemic fungicide although this particular fungicide may not offer much protection against common orchid diseases. There are better protective fungicidal drenches, like Banrot or Subdue, available from specialty horticultural outlets albeit at a fairly expensive price.. Repot into Your Mix of Choice. If you bought a plant in bloom, let it bloom out and then repot it in your mix of choice. If it’s a seedling orchid, you may want to repot immediately upon bringing it home. This way you won’t have a hodgepodge of plants in sphagnum, bark and whatever else that all require watering at a different frequency. The only caveats are try not to repot in the fall when plants are going into their winter rest and be careful not to repot bifoliate cattleyas unless you see the initiation of new root growth. It is best to repot when new roots are just beginning to emerge because the plant will reestablish the most quickly when it is in a period of active root growth. A new orchid should be a welcome addition to your collection, not a problem waiting to happen. Develop a system to make sure that their new beauty will live to bloom again along with all your old favorites. After you find an orchid that you just can’t live without, take a moment to inspect the plant to make sure it is healthy so you’ll still love it in the morning.

EDITOR’S WRAP As I say “good bye“ to my position as Editor and say “ hello” to my new position as President, I would like to say how much I have enjoyed putting Spike together this past year. I am passing this job on to …you’ll never guess....Jan (Janet) Johns! Jan will do a great job and, although a fairly new orchid grower, has a ton of experience when it comes to publishing. She will have expert advice from Arlene Lang and Dave Cooper and yours truly will be lurking in the background so all systems are “go”. Thanks again and see you at the monthly meetings.
