It was presented by Peter demonstrating the preparation of different potting mixes using different sizes of bark and additives to fulfill the orchid plants' requirements to suit his orchid growing environment.

06.01.2022 Best of Evening orchids for March comprised of some very pretty flowers including one from a new member who recently joined our society.

05.01.2022 Due to the change of venue, there were less members at our January meeting, however, the plant 'doctors' were inundated with high number of plants for assessment, diagnosis and recommended 'treatments', also gave alternative management plans. There were significant less plants being benched, however, the quality of the orchid flowers were maintained. One that came first in Popular Vote is this beauty, Dendrobium Pixie Princess, which was registered in 1986. Its parents are Den. Pixie Nani and Den. Canaliculaturm, the combination of these two parents gave Den. Pixie Princess, a complex hybrid with breeding going back seven generations and involving seven other species in its make-up. The orchid that came 2nd in the Popular Vote did not have a photo taken.
