April, 2024

 

Pfun at Phipps is our OSWP repotting efforts as well as doing the inventory of the Phipps orchid collection.  We are also helping as the Clean-up Crew and whatever Giovanny needs.  We are now going to Phipps most Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9:45AM – 12:45PM. It’s a great learning experience for all of us.

 

Our goal is to help Phipps grow their orchid collection to one of national note, as well as the growth of the Barbara Tisherman Slipper Orchid Collection, a living museum of slipper orchids.

 

Congratulations to Giovanny for 2 reasons:  First, he has been promoted to Collections Manager (curator) for Phipps.  He promises to continue to care for the orchid collection until someone else steps in as the Orchid Grower. Second, Phipps exhibit at our show won the AOS Show Trophy for the best exhibit.  Giovanny wanted all the Pfunsters to know, without their help and hard work, it wouldn’t have been possible.  Congratulations and best wishes, Giovanny!

 

Be sure not to miss Phipps Spring Flower Show, “A Closer Look.”  It will be a wonderful way to warm up to Spring!  It’s there until mid-April.

 

If you would like to join our Pfun/P-OSI efforts and haven’t previously signed up with us, please let me know at the email address below.  

 

Thanks and looking forward to working and learning together. . . and having Pfun!
