guest speaker Kristen Uthus

Our guest speaker is Dr. Kristen Uthus, owner of New World Orchids, who will speak about companion plants that can be grown in the same conditions as cattleyas.

The genus Cattleya now contains many of its close relatives like Laelia and Sophronitis, but what about those genera that still stand alone?  Those plants that fall under the category “Cattleya relatives not listed above” in the show schedule?  I will talk about several well-known and some lesser-known Cattleya relatives and how to grow them.

Preorders for delivery at our meeting will receive a 10% discount. Visit her website at www.newworldorchids.com to see all the amazing plants available. Orders to be delivered at our meeting should be emailed directly to Kristen at kristen@newworldorchids.com, NOT ordered through the website.

Please have your plants on the show table by 11 a.m.

Lunch is potluck so please consider bringing a dish to share if you can.
