Jurahame Leyva, our speaker for the evening, and owner of The Orchid Fix Nursery Orchids from Hawaii | Wholesale/Retail | The OrchidFix spoke to us about modern trends in Paphiopedilum Maudiae hybrids. He reviewed the key species in this group of hybrids. He also discussed some of the individual plants that were selected during the hybridizing process that have yielded the spectacular results we see today. Many of the wonderful plants we see are a result of the breeding program carried on by Graham Wood at Lehua Orchids. Jurahame showed us many beautiful examples to illustrate the progress made in this group. As he was closing he introduced a number of smaller species and some of the hybrids that were a result of those crosses, showing that the development of this group is far from finished

The Culture Clinic segment was packed. We had segments on building greenhouses, indoor growing, growing orchids from seed and raising plants from seedling to blooming size. This all led to the reintroduction of the Legion of Bloom. People can have two seedling size plants and grow them on. We will bring them back to our December meeting for a fun, if not sometimes whimsical competition.
