NEXT MEETING: MONDAY, MAY 6, 2013“Orchids 101” 6:00 p.m a Social “Hour” 7:00 - 7:15 p.m. a Meeting begins at 7:15 p.m.

Senior Lounge, Jewish Community Center, 1200 Edgewood Ave., Rochester, NY

O ur Spring Show was wonderful! The exhibits were visually diverse and beautiful, five AOS awards were bestowed on members’ and

exhibitors’ plants, and everyone enjoyed the Awards Reception Friday night after judging. Thanks to all mem-bers, judges and vendors who volunteered their time and effort to make the show a success!

O ur last speaker of the season will be Patricia Harding, who will present a talk on the “Oncidiinae of Brasil.” She will discuss the cur-

rent controversy in taxonomic name changes that have occurred in this group, explaining why they are no lon-ger Oncidium and then discussing proposed and accept-ed nomenclature changes that have occurred. She will discuss examples of these genera and species showing their native habitat and why their taxonomy can be diffi-cult. Integrated into the talk (actually most of the talk…) are examples of four trips she made to different habitats in Brazil to see these orchids.

Patricia is retired from the workforce and now does or-chids, as a writer, traveler, photographer and observer, with a little orchid growing on the side. When she’s not traveling, she lives in Oregon. She will also have copies of her book for sale --Orchids of Brazil, Vol. I, Oncidiinae for sale for $50. You can see the book on the Web at http://www.orchidstudium.com/orchidsofbrazil.html.

Plans for taking Dr. Harding to dinner prior to the meeting will be announced on the GROS website. As of the publication of this newsletter, we do not know if she will be bringing plants to sell at the meeting - please refer to the GROS website for updates. The Show Table will be back - so please don’t for-get to bring your flowering plants! We’ll see you there!

Monthly Checklist for May and June

CattleyaThe last of the spring-flowering types -- those that flower from a ripened hard pseudobulb -- will be finishing, while the first summer-blooming types will be showing buds on their rapidly growing, soft pseudobulbs. Both may need potting, as signaled by deteriorating mix, this month. The spring bloomers present no problems, as you will be dealing with fully ripe, well-hardened pseudobulbs. They will be ready to root on the mature front pseudo-bulb and will establish quickly. The summer

bloomers, will be brittle and may be in bud. Nonetheless, experienced growers know that unless potted now, they may not root later, as this type tends to be seasonal in its root-ing behavior. Stake the lead growth to avoid breakage. May can still present some changing light conditions that can lead to burning of the foliage if the plants have not been properly acclimatized. Allow them to build up their tolerance to higher light gradually. Changing light and temperatures can also be the source of some frustration when trying to determine when plants need watering. While cattleyas will be entering into a period of rapid growth

starting this month, they have still not built up sufficient momentum to be significantly slowed by your missing a day or two of water-ing owing to dark weather. As always, it is safer to err on the dry side than on the wet. It is important, though, especially to the sum-mer bloomers. Too much shade will cause rapidly developing inflorescences to droop unattractively.

PaphiopedilumThe Paphiopedilum Maudiae types will be well into their season now, so a careful eye should be used toward staking. Do not be too anxious to stake, however. Many of this type, if staked too soon, will develop nodding flow-ers that do not face the observer. It is better to allow the flowers to ripen naturally, then support the spike right below the ovary for best display. This is especially common in Paphiopedilum fairrieanum-derived hybrids. If you have to do something when you first see the emerging spikes, just put the stake in the pot next to the spiking growth. Not only will this help you, but you will be able to see where the spikes are, so you can continue to pay attention to their development. The multifloral types will be entering their most active growth phase, so lots of light, water and fertilizer are called for to mature their

large growths. Many will be spiking in the next couple of months, so be on the lookout for the emerging inflorescences. These may benefit from earlier staking than most, as the inflorescences grow so quickly in some cases that they can be quite soft. Again, best support is right below the ovary of the first flower.

This will allow the most natural presentation of the blooms.

PhalaenopsisExcept for the latest-spiking plants, all phalae-nopsis should be ready for potting or already potted. Because phalaenopsis are tropical plants, they tend to be seasonal in their root-ing behavior. The critical point for potting is when new roots emerge from the base of the plant. This is absolutely the best time to repot a phalaenopsis. The summer-flowering types, based on Doritis background, have ideally already been potted and are becom-ing freshly established, ready to support their soon-to-emerge spikes for the summer season. Phalaenopsis potted at the right point in their growth cycle will reestablish almost immedi-ately, with fresh roots growing into the new medium nearly uninterrupted. As soon as the flush of new root growth is seen, begin regular watering and fertilizing to make maximum use of the major growing season. Do not get over-exuberant with your watering, though, allowing water to splash between plants. This can be a source of infection for both water-borne pathogens and viral contamination. Phalaenopsis are much more susceptible to virus than was previously thought. Take extra care to keep your collection free of bacterial and viral problems, which you can accom-plish by maintaining a clean growing area.

- The AOS thanks Ned Nash and James Rose for this essay.

Cattleya purpurata, formerly in the genus Laelia, is without a doubt one of the most stately orchids to bloom in this season. © G. Allikas

Paphiopedilum Maudiae is a favorite slipper orchid.
