NOTICES

TEA ROSTER: Many thanks to Warleiti Jap, Judith Barry and Lee Payne, who are our volunteers for the September meeting. Additional savoury & sweet treats for the supper table are always welcome.

NEW MEMBER: Please welcome Susie Butler our newest member. Say “Hi,” and make her feel at home.

GUEST SPEAKER: Amy Jacobson is an orchid hobbyist and American Orchid Society (AOS) Judge living in Northern California. Her main interest is in Laeliinae particularly Laelia anceps, Cattleya purpurata and Cattleya intermedia, all of which are quite at home in the coastal suburbs of Sydney. This promises to be a very interesting presentation giving an American perspective on these popular orchids. Amy and her Cymbidium growing husband, Ken have gained many AOS and CSA awards and also won the prestigious “Best Orchid in Show” and the “Best Cattleya Alliance” awards at the Santa Barbara International Show in 2008 and the AOS Berliner Award for the best Lycaste in 2009. Amy’s presentation will include the different varieties of Cattleya purpurata including a trip to Brazil to see wild ones in situ.

SEPTEMBER MEETING RESULTS ORCHID OF THE MONTH Judges Choice Cattleya amethystoglossa ‘Orchidglade’; grown by L & G Bromley. This particular clone ‘Orchidglade’ has been awarded an AM/AOS in 1975, an HCC /NSW in 2012 and a 1

st /CAOB award in Brazil in 2012.

This Cattleya comes from Brazil growing at 30 to 900 metres elevation. They have been reported as growing in almost full sun at the tops of Palm Trees. They are best grown in about 2500-3500 foot-candles with night temperatures between 20 degrees in summer and 17 degrees in winter. Watering should be reduced in winter, but should not be permitted to remain dry for any period. Most growers like to grow these in a coarse bark mix, but others use anything from charcoal to peat and perlite.
