Event for April 2025
Hi orchid lovers!
We had our 2025 orchid show on March 15th and16th.
I hope you were able to join us for a while to enjoy all of the varied and beautiful display plants.
The show was a lot of work and so much fun. Thank you to all of you who volunteered to help.
To celebrate we are going to hold a pizza party potluck at this months meeting.
It will be at the King of Glory Lutheran church on 3430 North Maple Grove Road on Wednesday, April 16th.
The doors will open at 7:00 PM for set up and socializing.
The meeting will be held in the Bethlehem room, so park on the Southwest side of the building.
As soon as you enter the buildings’ double doors take a right.Directional signs will be available.
Pizza will be provided so please bring a salad or dessert with serving utensils. Table service, coffee, pop, and bottled water will be supplied.
Be sure to bring your beautiful, blooming orchids for the display table.
We do have a few left over plants from the show. They will be available for sell at a reduced rate (please use a check or cash).
Recap for 2025 Show and Sale March 15th and 16th
We had a lot of comments about the varied and beautiful show plants.
All of the people that entered individual plants or organized a multi plant display did a wonderful job of presenting their plants.
Multiple ribbons and certificates were awarded
In the sales area we offered a variety of unusual plants and related products.
We had a lot of different orchids this year including ‘mini’ Cattleys from Sun Valley Orchids, miniature hanging orchids, from Andy’s orchids, and Miltonias from Kalapana.
Two club members sold some of their orchids they had been growing at home.
North End Organic Gardening sold pots, fertilizer and growing medium.
One member was moving so they sold some of their potting supplies, some were interesting two part pots.
Also selling were Christ Orchids, Tillandsias & Succulents.
Gem State Carnivores was a big hit with their very unusual Nepenthes plants.
Lily B’s and her friend had a booth full of handy and creative sewn items along with “orchid”aprons and bags.
The club sponsored raffle was very popular and included at least 18 different and unusual choices.
We had Patricia Harding as a featured speaker. Due to bad weather, she had to give her
“Exploring Orchids from Brazil” presentation over Zoom. (Patricia is an America Orchid Society judge that has been growing orchids for three decades. She travels extensively, studying, photographing and talking about orchids.)
Our board member Fred Smith gave a presentation about how to repot different types of Orchids. There were lots of comments about how good of job he did and how helpful it was.
