president's message

August 2021

Greetings, OSSC Members

Summer is always one of my favorite times of the year. Seeing growths mature always excites me for future flowers! Mark your calendars as this October 14th-16th will be the Orchid Show at the Huntington Botanical Gardens. Please be on the lookout for more information and important dates. I always look forward to seeing what plants you all can bloom!

I hope you all enjoyed our recent meeting on deflasking orchids. A big thanks goes out to 1st VP Carol Beule! This month we will not be having a meeting and hope you enjoy the rest of your summer. Our next meeting will be Monday September 12th will be another hands-on presentation where we will learn about repotting. We will give demonstrations on repotting techniques for a variety of plants. Please feel free to bring a plant if you would like to repot it or get suggestions.

Lastly, there will be openings for board members to serve for the next year. It is not a large time commitment and your efforts will be a big help to our program. Please reach out to me if you are interested.

Best,

James
