We have a skill session that starts at 6:45 followed by our normal 7 o’clock meeting. Lynne Murrell will present a short talk on Winterizing Your Orchids and Bug Basics! Do you need a refresher on what to do with your orchids with the onset of winter?(When do I bring them indoors?) Or do you need help with bugs in your collection?(Who doesn?t have bugs?) So come a little early to our meeting and get some great tips!.

David has been growing Phalarnosis for decades. David was introduced to orchids as a teenager living on a naval base in the Philippines. As a hobby grower, David has been active in local societies and shows, spreading the good news about Phalaenopsis. In his small and rather crowded (10′ x 12′) greenhouse in the Pacific Northwest in the small tourist town of La Conner, Washington, David grows hundreds of orchids, primarily Phalaenopsis. In addition, David has made a few of his own crosses. Over the years, he has killed his fair share and hopefully learned most of what not to do. Having tried nearly every possible potting media (except shredded newspaper), and fertilizer fad, David has learned some hard but valuable lessons over the years. Some of David’s favorite Phalaenopsis are Harlequins, multi-florals, reds, oranges, yellows and, of course, novelty species and hybrids. Favorite species include Phal. schilleriana, equestris, tetraspis, and bellina.

David is an accredited American Orchid Society judge, former AOStrustee, and recent chair of the AOSJudging Committee.
