What is The Greater Cincinnati Orchid Society about?We help people grow, conserve, and learn about orchids. We teach the public and orchid enthusiasts how to care for and protect these beautiful plants in their homes and greenhouses. Many orchids are endangered in their native habitats, which are now under extreme pressure. Growing orchids in homes and greenhouses, besides being enjoyable, is vital for preserving the magnificent plants that can no longer survive in the wild. The Society does public presentations at various events and organization around the Greater Cincinnati area. Contact us if you would like us to attend your event or check our calendar periodically to see what is already scheduled. Donations are appreciated. In the Photo A
great time was had by all at long time member Larry's greenhouse.
Larry imparted his infinite wisdom of orchid growing, and
shared
his research on supplementing and growing with LED lights ( in the
background). Take a look at the pictures.Meetings We meet once a month at 7:30 pm. on the first Tuesday of the month. We take July, August, and December off (No meetings these months). We meet at the Civic Garden Center on Reading Road just off the Taft exit on Highway 71. Here are directions to our meetings. Everyone is welcome! Next meeting Our next meeting is February 7 with the beginners program starting at 7:00 PM and our regular meeting starting at 7:30 PM. In preparation for our upcoming show at Krohn March 17,18 the presentation will be on how to clerk during orchid judging and how to setup orchid displays. The presentations will be provided by Stan Better and Dana White respectively. After a great kickoff discussion on humdity and air movement last month, Rick Noel will be leading the beginners program with a discussion on maintaining proper light and humidity in the indoor environment. Please take some time to look at the detailed beginners program for 2012. We will also be deciding on a vendor for group purchase at the next beginners meeting.
