Get
Yer Plants Ready, Mama!
They’re Going to A Show!
Ah!
Fall is in the air! Cool
crisp evenings. Leaves
changing color. Birds
migrating across the sky.
Pumpkins ripening on the vine…
WAIT A MINUTE!
[screech!]
That ain’t Fall in California!
Fall in California means one thing and one thing only!
The OCTOBER 2004
DIABLO VIEW ORCHID SOCIETY SHOW AND SALE!
This
month we’ll go over preparing your orchids for display, show
registration for ribbon judging, and pass around signup sheets
for volunteers. Thank
goodness our members are experienced and can pretty much do the
same tasks they did last year, so that part will be a
no-brainer. Just
sign up for the slots you want to work. But, who knows? Maybe
there’s something you wish you had participated in last year
(like ribbon judging), or have more free time this year and
want to hang out with your homeboys. I could think of worse things than spending some time with
complete access to this year’s vendors, their experience (and
their tables).
To
further whet your whistles Dennis Olivas will talk about
orchids that can be grown outside in the heat of summer and the
cold of winter, here in the hot/dry & cold/wet of Contra
Costa County! So
if you want to acclimate some orchids to your garden please
come and see what Dennis has to say.
And
, as usual, there
is always the great cultural information freely given during
discussion of the Plant Show and Tell Table.
Provided by our President Dennis Olivas and his Able
Assistant (Noooo, I’m talking about Kathy Barrett).
If you want to bring a bad plant we won’t kick it off
the table. I think
we’ll have time to talk about it.
