P-OSI
A joint initiative between Phipps Conservatory and the Orchid Society of Western Pennsylvania to create and cultivate an orchid collection of note for enjoyment, education and research.
​
April, 2026
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 Thathmini needs. We are now going to Phipps most Tuesdays and Thursdays and an occasional Wednesday, from 10AM–1PM. It’s a great learning experience for all of us. Inventory starts at 9:15AM.
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.
​
Be sure not to miss Phipps Spring Show, “True Colors,” opening at the end of March.
​
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.
Looking forward to working and learning together. . . and having Pfun!
