OOS members love to bring their beautiful orchids to the monthly meeting’s “show table” and share with others their cultural techniques for growing such specimens. OOS Meetings provide the perfect opportunity to do that!
Doug showed three orchids this month, two plants and one cutting.
Catherine brought a beautiful little phalaenopsis.
Gerry brought an orchid to exhibit the formation of seed pods.
Brian brought two sister Phal. bellina.
Now for one of our own North American orchids. This orchid was brought in by Mike, one of our conservation specialists, who said these “Rattlesnake” orchids can appear from Oklahoma northward. Notice the “rattle” of flowers on this intriguing plant.
Thank you all for bring these beautiful orchids!
