Utah Orchid Society

For the month of June we have Leon Glicenstein coming to talk about Habenaria orchids. Habenaria are a very beautiful and very interesting genus of orchid! They go dormant all winter! If you have time, look up Habenaria on the internet and see the amazing variety of flower shapes and colors.

As usual we are meeting at the Utah Associated Garden Clubs Garden Center, 1602 E 2100 S, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Greetings all! We will have a hands-on orchid repotting class. This will be another meeting where the experience of members can be shared, growing the knowledge of the group as a whole. And remember, no matter how experienced you are, there is ALWAYS something new to learn! This is one of the great, fun aspects of the orchid hobby!

If you have an orchid you are unsure about repotting, bring it to the meeting! Since this is our first club repotting adventure, we are unsure how many orchids will be brought to the meeting, so we ask that you bring a maximum of three.

This session has been limited to repotting in pots. If you wish to try mounting an orchid, feel free to bring it for assistance, but you will need to bring your own mount, wire/line, etc.

We ask that members consider bringing some spare clean sterile pots and media to donate for the repotting session. We also ask that members bring newspapers to cover the tables for sterility and assist in cleanup

The Utah Orchid Society is currently in the summer rest period. We do not have regular monthly meetings during the months of July & August.

This month, we have Eric Sauer of River Valley Orchids! Eric will be giving his presentation on “South American Species”. This presentation covers some of the Maxillarias and Phragmipediums of the area along with other interesting genus and species. Discussed will be some species you may already know, but Eric will also be covering species which are not well known but fairly readily available and can be grown by most!

A very interesting presentation! See you there!
