So You Want to Make an Orchid Cross?

NHOS VP Bob Cleveland will show the mechanics of pollinating flowers, then explain getting the pod sown, cost and time till flowering, why you should and shouldn’t make a cross, and finally a few of his hybrids and what he was trying to accomplish.

At the end of this presentation everyone will go home with an orchid seedling!

Monthly meeting starts at noon.

We'd love to see your blooming orchids on our show table. Please bring plants for the show table by 11am so that we have time for judging.
