February Program: Plant Exchange Take the opportunity to exchange plants with other members and grow something different! Plant Exchange Guidelines Participants will draw numbers to determine the order in which they will select plants. Five members at a time will be given the opportunity to select ONE plant each of their choice. Group rotation will continue until all desired plants have been selected. This is not a one for one exchange. If you donate a 6 pot you may want a 2 pot and vice versa. Plants not selected by members may be re turned to the member making the donation or given to the Garden Center shop for them to sell. Donation Guidelines You do NOT have to donate a plant in order to receive one however those donating will draw a number before those not donating. Multiple donations are greatly appreciated. Donated plants should be clearly labeled. NOID plants are accepted in the exchange. Plants should be in good health with no visible insect activity. No rescue plants please! If you would like your unselected plant(s) returned to you, please mark them with your name.

3 From the President s Desk Keith Mead We mourn the recent passing of our friend and longtime member Paul Laybourne. Our thoughts are with his wife, Julie, and extended family at this time of loss. This newsletter edition is dedicated to his memory. Our January guest speaker, Guillermo Salazar, began the NMOG year by setting the bar high for future guests. Everyone expressed satisfaction with his presentation on African species orchids and the selection of plants he brought to us was unequaled. There was something for everyone, from a wonderful selection of miniatures to rare species not seen in most collections or easy to acquire. Do you know the members of your Board of Directors? Do you know how NMOG is structured and operates? Would you like a preview of our plans for 2015? Well, better attend the February 8th meeting. The board will hold a short State of the Guild meeting to be followed by the popular plant exchange. Plant exchange rules are to be found in this newsletter. We will have show and tell, raffle and a nice selection of blooming plants to purchase. Remember Valentine s Day is just a week following our meeting. The February Growers Forum will be presented by NMOG members Sue Brych and Marlene Roberts. Their topic for discussion will be orchid pests. The Growers Forum is held at 1:00 PM in the Patio Room and precedes the general 1:30 PM meeting. Mark March 8th on your calendars. NMOG will host Harry Phillips of Andy s Orchids on a Stick as our guest speaker. His topic will be mounting orchids. Harry has spoken to NMOG in the past and is an engaging and informative speaker. Watch your for pre order opportunities. Don t miss this one. See you February 8th Keith This arrangement was designed by Jason at Osuna Nursery for Paul Laybourne s Memorial Service

4 New Show and Tell Format One of the suggestions from our January group discussions was the need to standardize show and tell information. We would like to try using a form to provide information on your plant. This will also be useful to the newsletter editor. When you present your plant you can use this information in discussing it. We will allow time for questions from the membership so we can all learn from your successes. Forms will be available at the meeting, but should you prefer to complete the information prior to the meeting here is what we are proposing: Leave the form with your plant on the Show and Tell table. Print Then Tear Here Your Name: Division (Circle One): Novice Intermediate Advanced Plant Name: How long have you had the plant?: Where did you acquire it?: How do you grow it? Light: Water: Fertilizer: Location: Has it bloomed previously?: How often?: Additional Comments:

5 Monthly Checklist for February Cattleya Watering and fertilizing will be at a minimum, as will potting. Be on the lookout for senescing sheaths on your winterinto-spring bloomers. Careful removal of the dying sheaths will still allow buds to develop without the danger of condensation-induced rot. Low light will lead to weak spikes, so, and as noted above, staking is critical. If you have a chance to get out to nurseries, there may still be a chance to acquire good plants in sheath for spring bloom. Getting them now not only ensures that you ll have them, but allows them to acclimate to your conditions and bloom at their best. Odontoglossums Odontoglossums and their intergeneric hybrids offer a great splash of color now. Though once thought of as being difficult to grow and requiring cool temperatures due to the emphasis on odontoglossum breeding, the new intergeneric hybrids made using Oncidium and Brassia, for example, are just the opposite. These plants are quite content in more intermediate conditions. New growths generally emerge in the spring, later forming beautiful plump pseudobulbs. Look for the flower spikes to emerge from the inner sheath of the pseudobulb. If your plant s pseudobulbs are shriveled, then the plants have been kept too dry or too wet. Inspect the roots to determine which condition prevailed. If the lead pseudobulb is large, plump and green (and back bulbs are shriveled) but no flower spike is evident, the plants may have been kept too dry. Paphiopedilum The standard Paphiopedilum insigne-derived hybrids, which are called bull dogs and toads, are at their peak. Unlike most other orchids, they can even be potted while in bud. There really is no wrong time to pot a paphiopedilum, and no other orchid responds so favorably to fresh mix and a cleanup. Keep an eye on watering until roots begin to grow. Phalaenopsis Now is the peak of spike development, with the first plants in full flower. Staking and plant preparation is a must for those all-important spring shows. Correct staking now will give a better display and also make it much easier to transport to your society meetings and shows. Care with watering is vital to avoid mechanical damage to the flowers, as well as rot-related problems. Keep spent blooms cleaned up to avoid botrytis inoculation. Do not repot this month. Now you ll be seeing lots of phalaenopsis at orchid shows and sales. Zygopetalum For the most part, the flowering season will have ended for this group, providing the grower a chance to do some repotting. The plants will then have a chance to become well established before the hotter months of summer arrive. Most growers use bark mixes, but some exceptional results have been seen lately using rock-wool blends. You may want to try this mix, but do not change your whole collection over to this new media until you are sure it is right for you. First, experiment with a few plants to see how they respond.
