1 April 2009 The COALITION for ORCHID SPECIES PRESIDENT S MESSAGE Dear COS members: at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens Old Cutler Road Miami, Florida Meets every third Monday at 7:30 p.m. by Eduardo Marcellini We are still in the best part of the year for enjoying our orchids in bloom. Personally, I like species and I always have. When I see one of my orchids flourishing, somehow I feel connected to that part of the jungle or country of origin. My collection is mostly mounted on live trees, in other words, they are all over my yard. There is nothing like walking around and seeing these beauties in flower and sometimes having the great surprise of an orchid where I had missed the bud. There it is enjoying the morning breeze and laughing at my astonished face. Changing the subject, I would like to thank Mirta and her group of volunteers for setting up a recruiting table at the Fairchild Orchid Show. Because of that we have some new members that I would like to officially welcome to our club. I m assuming that you made this event, but if you didn t, you are probably the only one, because it seemed that everyone (continued on page 2) APRIL S SPEAKER WES HIGGINS The Genus Prosthechea sensu lato Wesley E. Higgins, Ph.D., is the head of Systematics at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. He coordinates the Nomenclatural Notes column in AOS Orchids as a member of the publications committee. Wes is coauthor of The Marie Selby Botanical Gardens Illustrated Dictionary of Orchid Genera. He has been a member of AOS since 1972 and is an accredited AOS judge in the Florida North-Central Judging Center. Higgins was also the recipient of an AOS fellowship and research grant. The genus Prosthechea has only recently (1997; published in 1998) been reestablished by W. E. Higgins as a distinct genus, but some species were later transferred to Euchile by Withner (1998). Previously, the species had been included in different genera : Anacheilium, Encyclia, Epidendrum, Euchile, Hormidium and Pollardia. The status as genus was confirmed by recent data, based on molecular evidence and plastid DNA sequence data. (W. E. Higgins et al. 2003) This a neotropical epiphytic genus, occurring from Florida and Mexico to tropical America. Source:
2 Coal i t i on f or Orchid Species A pril Page 2 Continued from page 1 from South Florida was there. The weather couldn t have been better and the vendors all over the gardens made a great spectacle. Now we have to get ready for one of the best, if not the best, The Redland International Orchid Festival. This is a must see event and I m counting the days to the opening. I also wonder how it is going to be now that the park has an almost three acre lake with a huge water fall. At the last board meeting, Lou Lodyga, our event coordinator, reported that he has nearly all the speakers secured for this year s symposium. And Carlos Segrera is putting together a trip next year to the orchid show in Costa Rica. I m in! See if you can make it, too! I hope I see you at this meeting and as always, bring all your friends along!

3 Coal i t i on f or Orchid Species A pril Page 3 Bits and Pieces for April by Mirta Russis- Jorge Leno, our COS member who does the monthly raffle, had a heart attack this month. He was in the hospital for few days but is doing very well back at home. We are happy to know that he is recuperating so quickly. Our prayers for a fast recovery have been with him. Volunteers for the Fairchild Orchid Sales and Show The Coalition for Orchid Species won 1 st Place with a beautiful Double Table Top display at the Fairchild Orchid Show. Susana Ortiz designed and set up a beautiful display with the help of Katria Whitfield and Vivian Waddel. We thank the following COS members who helped out with the show, and who lent us their beautiful orchids for our display: Erna Maxwell, Betty Eber, Jim Lindberg, Ernie Barham, Jean Wilson, Larry Cox, Bob Watson, and Mirta R. Heineman. We also thank those COS members who helped at the COS recruiting table: Katria Whitfield, Rolando Armenteros, Eduardo Marcellini, Eric Gottlieb, Mirta R. Heineman, and Carlos Segrera! We recruited five new members., and we welcome them to COS! Sue Eber Masson, Maribel and Rafael Toledo, Robert Riefer, and Jorge Casaudoumecq! We hope to see you at our monthly meetings! Awards received by COS members at the Fairchild Show Our Coalition for Orchid Species trophy was won by Jim Lindberg. We are very proud of our Trophy winner! These were our additional winners: Best in Show Species won by Bulbophyllum leysianum grower, Jim Lindberg; Best in Show Paphipedulum, for his Paph. Lady Isabel, Ernie Barham; and Best in Show Seedling First Time Blooming was won by grower Betty Eber, for her Phal. lerucorrhada! Congratulations to all of our COS winners! SILENT AUCTION! Each month, in addition to the raffle, COS has a silent auction of plants that COS members have brought in to share. This is a great way to acquire new plants and benefit COS at the same time. So clear off your orchid benches and bring in your offshoots, keikis, and divisions! Cynthia White runs the silent auction at each meeting, and will kindly provide you with everything you need to auction your plants! Listen for the auction call! GET SOME CULTURE WITH BETTY EBER! Betty Eber will continue her informative and entertaining orchid culture series this month with her class on The Care and Culture of Cattleyas. Class begins promptly at 7:00 pm.! Bring a guest, your curiosity and questions!
4 Coal i t i on f or Orchid Species A pril Page 4 GET GROWING! Rhyncholaelia digbyana by Lou Lodyga I can remember the first time I ran across Rhyncolaelia digbyana (previously known as Brassavola digbyana) while collecting orchids in Honduras. The area was hot, sunny, with many tall cactus plants scattered throughout the area. Despite the oppressive heat and dryness, there it was in full bloom on the top of one of the cactus plants. The leaves were almost white (a protective covering like powder), beautiful strong growths with 8 large green flowers. I did manage to collect the plant, but not without getting some cactus spines in my hands. This is an easy orchid to grow, and does well in very bright light to full sun. They do well mounted on cork, driftwood, on a tree, or in a pot. Since they can take dryness, pot them in a course media which allows them to dry out fast. The fringed lip is particularly stunning, and it is for that reason it was used frequently in Cattleya hybrids. The flowers range in color from creamy white to green, with the green forms being the most desirable. Every collection should have this outstanding species! Cattleya of the Month Cattleya schroederae by Mirta Russis-Heineman This cattleya is originally from the northern part of Brazil. The plants are found along the Amazon River. They also grow along the Rio Negro near Manaus to the borders of Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. They grow high in trees of hot humid lowlands. Flowers are one to four, sweetly fragrant, and are usually white with a pale rose tint and a golden throat.
