Next Meeting: Thursday 10th January 7:30pm Kathy
Barrett & Dennis Olivas:
"Bad Plants"
Pfwappppp!
In a shower of bark the orchid plant explodes against the
greenhouse wall. "Why won't you grow??" howls
its owner. Eyes ablaze, hair standing on end he turns to
the rest of his collection, grabbing the first orchid he
sees. Furiously he squeezes the pot until it bursts in
his hand. Flinging his arms heavenward he cries
"What oh WHAT do I have to do to GET YOU TO
GROW!!!!?????" he breaks down sobbing on the greenhouse
floor.
Bad Plants,
Bad Plants. Whatcha Gonna Do?
Whatcha gonna do when they happen to you?
Gentle Reader.
There's no need to howl to the gods! You won't find the
answers in a pigeon's
entrails or by sacrificing a goat. Dennis Olivas and
Kathy Barrett answer any questions
you have about growing orchids. Feeding, potting, proper
light & temperatures, difficult
or exotic species... you name it. And the best thing is
that they'll answer them about
YOUR OWN PLANTS! This is your chance! Each year we encourage
members to bring in
any orchids they are having trouble with. Bring us your tired,
your weak, your smothered
roots yearning to breathe free! You'll be surprised how we can
help you become
better growers if you just show us your plants. Don't be
shy! Did I mention there'll
be prizes, too? We may even tell you where to cut the
Phal spike. So put down the knife
and leave the goat alone. |
