These are informal meetings held at members' homes to learn
orchid cultural and answer questions about orchid care. It is
intended, especially, for new members and new growers but the
long established members are welcome. This mixed experience
level gives the novice many opinions, advice that may work in their
growing area. It, also, allows new members to meet and get to
know the more experienced members of the society.
CULTURE STUDY GROUP DISCUSSION PANEL & AFTERNOON TEA Sat., September 13 2:30pm
|
The OSWP Culture Study Group will meet at the home of our
gracious hosts Ginny and Charlie Mortimer on Saturday the 13th
of September. The meeting will start at 2:30PM, but if you would
like to see the Mortimer’s collection, please arrive by 2PM.
We will discuss “Bringing Your Plants Indoors for the Winter
Season.” (Yes, we know… it is not the best of jobs, but it has to
be done… and we WANT more blooms…)
There are many different methods of treating your orchids and
preparing them for a Pittsburgh winter. All members are invited
to share their experiences, as well as learn new ideas about the
subject. Some experienced very good growers will be on hand to
tell us what they do. We will also have a summary sheet and
culture study folder for all members so that you have a ready
reference for future needs.
Let’s meet our old friends again, and make new ones too.
As a final not, anyone interested in selling orchids is welcome to
bring 5-10 orchids. As a courtesy, please bring only disease and
pest free plants.
