What's Happening
MONTHLY MEETING – 5th JUNE 2025
The June meeting is not to be missed, three of our better growers will be sharing their knowledge on Orchid Culture. The three topics at the meeting will be:
- What to look for when purchasing a new orchid.
- Paphiopedilum culture and care, with a demonstration on repotting one.
- Dividing a Cattleya into smaller divisions.
Also, members can bring their plants to sell to other members and no commission will be charged by the society.
Don’t forget to bring your Tolumnia [Tolu.] Ky-Elle’s Dream X Tolumnia [Tolu.] pulchella, for judging. Members get a point each just for benching this plant, but if you’re lucky enough to place first or second you will earn 3 and 2 points respectively.
Finally, consider being part of the 4 meter by 4 meter Display Team our society is preparing for the 23rd AOC Conference being held in Woolgoolga this October 2025. The first meeting is on 29th of May at 10:00am at Paige’s Workshop, please call her to let her know you’ll attend.
