president's message

April 2025

Dear OSSC Members,

I hope you are well! This month we will hear Peter Lin give his talk on "Epidendrum, Prosthechea and Encyclia". Peter Lin is the owner of Diamond Orchids and is a highly renowned orchid Judge, grower and speaker. This group of plants has lots to offer and Peter is filled with knowledge on how to grow them well. Peter will also provide a plant table from his nursery. His talks are always exceptional and not to be missed!

Now that spring is here, are your plants ready for warmer weather? Spring is the time to start thinking about repotting as those new growths and roots emerge. Repotting in the cooler weather gives plants time to grow and establish new root systems in fresh media that will be needed as plants are pushed to the warmer extremes in the summer.

Lastly, this month we will have a board meeting for all board members to help plan for the Auction. Please be on the lookout for more information if you are on the board. Have a great week and I am looking forward to seeing you all in April!

James
