I have grown orchids since 1968, specializing in \u2018slippers\u2019 (primarily Paphiopedilum), with\u00a0<strong>Paph fairrieanum<\/strong>\u00a0my favorite species, smaller Vandaceous plants (see\u00a0<em><strong>Neofinetia falcata<\/strong><\/em><strong>\u00a0\u2018Maplewood\u2019\u00a0<\/strong>at left) and a sprinkling of Cattleyas, Aussie Dendrobiums &amp; Cymbidiums.\u00a0I do a little breeding in several genera, so I often have a variety of extra plants, seedlings and occasionally flasks for sale\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His talk will be\u00a0A Look at Cymbidium: An overview of the more important species, hybrid types, and cultural requirements. There will be plants for sale at the meeting and as we mentioned at the last meeting his speaker fee to the society will be reduced based on the amount of plant sales at the meeting, so if you have some extra space and are looking for something new consider not only supporting Kim, but the COS! I am certainly looking forward to this talk since cymbidiums are some of the easiest orchids to grow as a houseplant and are in my opinion under appreciated by the hobby as a whole. Some of the standard plants can take up a significant amount of real estate, but newer hybrids are on the smaller side. Looking forward to seeing everyone there at the meeting!<\/p>\n<p>There will be a show table, so don\u2019t forget to bring along your blooming plants for this month\u2019s show table. It\u2019s always exciting to see what\u2019s coming into bloom, looking forward to an awesome show table!<\/p>\n<p>Please print and fill out the ID card for the show table\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ctorchids.org\/?attachment_id=1422\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us for a talk by Kim Fedderson from Fair Orchids \u2018A Look at Cymbidium\u2019 Meeting Date:\u00a0Wednesday, October 9th\u00a0at the Farmington Senior Center.\u00a0 Doors open at 6:30pm for socializing and the meeting starts at 7pm.
