Upcoming Meetings & Events:
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15 - Monthly Meeting
This month, CFOS welcomes renowned orchid hobbyist, hybridizer, and accredited AOS judge Peter T. Lin of Diamond Orchids to present his talk “Orchids Alfresco! Best Orchids to Grow Outdoors.” Due to limited growing space, Mr. Lin likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards. His interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias. He is also known as “Mr. Sophronitis.” Not only does Peter speak at various orchid societies, he has also written articles for “Orchid Digest” and “ORCHIDS” magazine.

"ORCHIDS ALFRESCO"

Best Orchids to Grow Outdoors

Peter Lin will be presenting his newest talk on: Orchids Alfresco! Best Orchids to Grow Outdoors. This fast paced PowerPoint presentation will show you some of the best orchid species and hybrids to grow outdoors. Most of the orchids discussed here will tolerate temperatures from 32 to 100 degrees. Culture tips are given for each orchid as well as general growing tips for outdoors. Peter will also discuss some of the challenges to growing outside and some great tips to overcome them.

Meeting will be held at the New Hanover County Arboretum (on the 3rd Wednesday this month). Peter will bring orchids for sale before the meeting. Doors open at 6:30 PM and the meeting starts at 7 PM.
