Our November meeting is on November 10, 2015. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. at the Veteran's Memorial Building, 1351 Maple Avenue, SR
GUESTS WELCOME Our previously announced speaker for
November, George Hatfield, is unable to
speak. However, WE ARE PLEASED TO
SAY THAT AMY JACOBSEN WILL
TALK TO US ABOUT THOSE
BEAUTIFUL AND HARDY ORCHIDS,
LAELIA ANCEPS!
Amy is an enthusiastic and accredited
American Orchid Society judge and a crazy
orchid hobby-grower. Between Amy &
Ken they care for 6,000 orchids in their
private collection. Amy grows the majority
of her orchids in covered outdoor areas at
her home and in an unheated greenhouse on
the coast. Her special interests in orchids
are Laelia anceps, Cattleya (formerly
Laelia) purpurata and Cattleya intermedia.
She shares greenhouse space with Ken Jacobsen’s (her husband) cymbidiums. Amy
directs the rest of her attention to her two young Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
Many of us find our heated growing spaces, whether in our homes or in our
greenhouse(s) to be too limited for all of the orchids we would like to grow. Amy has
experimented with growing many orchid varieties outdoors over the years. We are
fortunate in our area to have mild temperatures most of the time and we can grow a wide
variety of orchids outdoors - probably many more varieties than you realize. Amy will
share her successes and guidelines for growing L anceps outdoors as well as take us on a
tour to visit L anceps nature habitat in Mexico.
THE PLANT TABLE WILL BE SUPPLIED BY AMY AND KEN JACOBSEN!
Join us for dinner with Ken and Amy Jacobsen at Sea Thai Bistro (at their new location)
2350 Midway Drive, Santa Rosa. RSVP to Angelique at [email protected] or call her.
Phone numbers are in the Membership Directory. (If you do not have a recent
Membership Directory, you may email Jeanne Van Blarcom at [email protected]
and request a copy). Directions: https://goo.gl/maps/pgqm13J7T4z

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Hello Orchid Friends,
Fall is in full swing and the leaves on our outdoor trees are changing to red,
orange, and yellow hues before falling to the ground. After the longest Indian
summer that I can recall, there finally is a definite chill in the air. Rain is just
around the corner and we will be welcoming it with open arms! Many orchids
are finally getting a needed drop in temperature enabling them to set their spikes.
Winter blooming orchids are getting ready to spend energy on sending up spikes
and reward us with beautiful blooms! We certainly love those blooms!
Remember to vote for the person(s) whom you think best deserves the Marie
Waskow Award. Ballots are available in your newsletter. Either email your vote
to Kathie Hile or myself. You can also turn them in at the November meeting. We will have ballots available at
the November meeting, too.
Our next big event is the Holiday Party! It is our regular meeting night, Tuesday, December 8th. It will be at Foxtail
Golf Club in Rohnert Park. Billie MacCarthy is planning a great party! Remember that you can bring your own
wine to the dinner and there will not be a corkage fee. There will be gorgeous blooming orchids for our table
decorations. These will go home with several lucky people. There is a gift exchange that always is a lot of fun!
Remember you can bring spouses, significant others or a friend to the festivities! We have a good start on sign
ups but if you haven’t already signed up, make sure you do so at the November meeting.
See you at our next meeting on November 10th! Amy Chung Jacobsen is going to give us a fantastic talk on Laelia
anceps. This talk is perfect timing with so many laelias spiking and starting to bloom.
Happy orchid dreams!
Susan
To Lynne Murrell and Susan Anderson for opening
their new greenhouse space in Bolinas. Everyone
who was able to attend enjoyed seeing such happy
plants and the variety of blooms. There also may
have been a few green with envy! Thank you Susan
and Lynne!!

THE MARIE WASKOW AWARD THIS MONTH, MEMBERS VOTE FOR THE PERSON
OR COUPLE IN OUR SOCIETY that exemplifies the
selfless giving of time and knowledge to the SCOS by
Marie Waskow, for whom the award is named. Think
about this last year as well as previous years and vote for
the person or couple who you feel has donated time and
effort for the benefit of our Society. There are many who
still give unselfishly of their time, but have received the
award in the past. Those names are listed on the ballot.
But there are still many who have given continuously
and have not received the recognition they deserve.
There will be a ballot box at the November meeting, or
you may email your vote to Susan Anderson at
[email protected] or Kathie Hile at
[email protected]. Please vote!!

IN CASE YOU MISSED THIS ANNOUNCEMENT
IN LAST MONTH'S NEWSLETTER, IT IS BEING
RESTATED.
ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING SALE PLANTS
AT MEETINGS: The percentage of sales paid to
your Society by members who sell plants at society
meetings will be 30%, effective at the October 2015
meeting. The 30% commission to the Society will also
be collected at future Society BBQ & Auction events.
In the past, your Society collected 25%. However, the
Society paid 8.75% sales tax on the total value of the
sale plant, which meant the Society net income was
16.25%.
With this new pricing, the member receives 70% of the
sales price of the plant.
Please note: This does not apply to plants sold at the
Society's Spring Show. Since at the Spring Show the
buyer pays the sales tax, the commission to the seller
remains at 80%.
Thank you for your understanding.

NEWBIES COLUMN
Epiphyte or Terrestrial?
Sympodial or Monopodial?
Understanding where and how orchids grow will help you better understand how to grow them. This article looks at the growth habits of orchids.
The structure of an orchid plant is the same as any plant, for it has roots, stems, leaves and flowers. But these parts are adapted to its way of life and differ somewhat from familiar plants which you grow in your garden.
Epiphytes and Terrestrials: Most of the cultivated orchids are epiphytes, such as the Colombian Cattleya trianae pictured here. They do not grow in the ground, but instead grow in trees or on rocks. This puts their roots out into the air rather than underground. The word "epiphyte" (EP-ih-fite) means "air plant" or literally "to grow upon a plant". Epiphytes are not parasites. They do not take anything from the host plant. Epiphytes perch upon other plants but get their moisture and nutrients from air, rain and debris. Cymbidiums and other orchids, such as Bletillas, are terrestrial, which means "growing in the ground".
![Page 6: SONOMA COUNTY ORCHID SOCIETY...2015/11/11 · 8: October Show-And-Tell 9:Holiday Flyer 10:Upcoming Events 11:Marie Waskow Ballot Please feel free to post comments and share pictures](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071004/5fc10e339cf9ee40aa284af8/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Page 6 SCOS November 2015 Newsletter
The Sobralia pictured at the bottom of the page is a terrestrial orchid. Most of the native orchids of the United States and all the natives of Europe are terrestrials. Some epiphytic orchids have adapted to growing on rocks because nearby forests may not offer enough light. Rock-growing orchids are known as lithophytes.
Sympodial and Monopodial: There are two types of growth found in orchid plants. One growth pattern is called sympodial (sim-POH-dee-al), the other is monopodial (mon-o-POH-dee-al).
For sympodial think of sideways. An orchid with sympodial growth moves sideways. From a connecting stem (rhizome) which grows horizontally, it puts up successive growths in which each one is a duplicate of the one before.
Examine the sketch. The upright growths are called pseudobulbs, each a repetition of the one before and growing parallel to each other. A plant may produce one new pseudobulb at a time, perhaps even only one per year. But it may make two or more growths simultaneously, and a large plant may make several new growths at the same time. Hybrids may have more than one cycle of growth per year.
The majority of the cultivated orchids are sympodial - they grow sideways. New growth begins at the base of the previous mature growth. Cattleya, Oncidium, Dendrobium and Cymbidium are all examples of sympodial orchids.
On the other hand, monopodial (mon-oh-POH-dee-al) orchid plants grow continuously taller - upwards, and some reach many feet in height under ideal conditions. Think of the vandas, growing outdoors in the tropics. Others have reasonable height limits, such as the phalaenopsis group. Monopodial means "one foot".
A monopodial orchid has neither pseudobulbs nor rhizomes. It grows continually upward from the top of the plant. It produces roots and flowers at intervals from the vertical stem.
Quite in contrast to the foliage habits of sympodial orchids, a monopodial orchid has alternate leaves the entire length of the stem. Lower leaves may fall off as the plant ages. Phalaenopsis, Vanda, Ascocenda and Angreacumare all examples of monopodial orchids. If you have forgotten what some of these orchids look like, see last month's SCOS
Newsletter. You can also find it your Society website www.sonomaorchids.com. Greg Allikas, August 2009

NOVEMBER ORCHID CHECKLIST
o Aerangis: Many species of this popular genus prefer to be kept much drier during the winter months, when
they are not in active growth. You can determine this by watching the root tips. Generally, the following
species do better if mounted, which allows them to be on the dry side: mystacidii, verdickii, Inter-alba,
distincta and punctata.
o Cattleya: We are well past the Equinox, and the days have shortened noticeably. Summer's growth is complete
and ripening. Whatever sheaths you will have for winter and spring bloom are now made. Indeed, some of
these sheaths may have been present since as early as July and may be beginning to show signs of senescence
(dying), especially if temperature extremes in your growing area have allowed water to condense inside the
sheath. Remove yellowing sheaths carefully to prevent further water condensation that can rot the dormant or
emerging bud primordia. If the sheath is removed with enough care, the buds will still develop, though they
will need additional support as they grow, to compensate for the loss of the support normally provided by the
sheath. All potting should be complete for the year, with the exception of cases where it cannot be avoided. In
many instances, there is still enough time left before winter's shorter days to allow for some re-establishment.
The lengthening nights and cooler temperatures signal a need for reduced watering; the plants won't dry out as
quickly and are not growing much, if at all. These seasonal changes also signal winter and spring-flowering
plants that it is time to begin bud development from the dormant eyes shielded by the sheath.
o Cymbidium: At this time of the year, be diligent in the staking of your plants, so that the plant will look its
best when in flower. Watch for slugs and snails and bait as necessary. By now, only low doses of nitrogen are
needed and potassium (the middle number on the fertilizer label) should be increased.
o Lycaste: Pseudobulbs should be fully formed now. The leaves will begin to degenerate on the deciduous
varieties, but don't be concerned; they will soon just drop off. Taper off on the water. Keep plants in a light but
airy location as the flower spikes develop.
o Paphiopedilum: Reduce nitrogen levels for best flowering. The occasional heat spell or, conversely, wet
period, can lead to the sheaths rotting in the leaf axil. Do not allow water to accumulate in the new growths.
As the spikes emerge, provide bright light to strengthen them. Do not change the plants' orientation to the main
light source during the period, as doing so can lead to misshapen spike development. While paphs never like to
dry out entirely, this month marks the beginning of the time when growth, and, hence, water needs slow down
dramatically. Observe your plants and do not water if they are not at least partially drying out. The same goes
for fertilizer. Paphs are, generally, light feeders, with the exception of the strap-leaved types, so fertilizer can
be drastically reduced now.
o Phalaenopsis: Phals will also be responding to shortening days with ripening growth and the tendency to
spiking. Especially of you are in an area with cooler autumn nights, this month you will be seeing the spikes
that will give you early winter bloom. Any spikes that will be ready for Christmas will be at least 50 percent
developed and will certainly need attention to staking. Spike initiation for the main spring bloom season is
beginning, so you should begin to see the emergence of new spikes. To get more spikes with more flowers,
switch to a fertilizer with reduced nitrogen, such as a bloom booster formula as mentioned for cymbidiums.
Also, watch for any disease or pest problems that may be beginning to show up with cooler weather and more
crowded conditions. Mealybugs, especially, love to live in bracts of emerging spikes, where their population
can grow unseen until they are difficult to control without damaging flowers or buds. In humid environments,
apply a preventive spraying of a copper-based compound to help control fungal and rot problems before they
can get established during the winter.
o Vandaceous Genera: A few Ascocendas are blooming. However, this is the time to think more about what you
plants will need to grow strongly during the upcoming winter months. Make sure the plants are positioned so
they receive as much light as they need during these shorter days.
o Zygopetalum: The spikes will now be showing from inside the new growths. Stake them and make sure they
get past the mature leaves unobstructed. Do not let plants dry out because they need plenty of water to finish
the new growth and develop flowers. Compiled by James Rose and Ned Nash - AOS
