FLAMINGO GARDENS ORCHID SOCIETY MEETING

Join Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society exciting new presentation. "South Florida Slipper Collection" presented by Larry Cox on Monday October 14,2024. Larry acquired his first orchid, a cattleya, in 1972. His second was a paphiopedilum. The cattleya is long gone, but he still has a piece of the paph. When he began with paphs, he commonly heard, “You can’t grow those in South Florida,” but the first one lived and bloomed, and the love for paphiopedilum and collection continues. Now with over sixty AOS awards, including five FCC's, he will present 25 slipper orchids from three genera which he thinks are best suited for our growing conditions. Meet us October 14, 2024 at Flamingo Gardens, Mary N. Porter Learning Center 3750 S. Flamingo Rd. Davie, Fl. Doors open at 7pm program starts at 7:30pm
