Orchid Photo
Although it blooms reliably for us at Christmas, Cattleya Percivaliana can bloom anytime from October into January. It blooms at the early end of that range in its habitat in the Venezuelan Andes. Shown above is the albescent color.

Employee Wellness Center
201 East Dixie Ave. Leesburg, FL
This will be our last meeting of the year. This years theme will be "Beach Picnic". Please bring a dish to pass.
Our May meeting speaker was Louis Del Favero of Del Favero Orchids located at: 6601 Grant Rd. in Tampa. For directions please call (813) 961-8277. Mr. Del Favero has about 50% species orchids and gave lots of tips on growing orchids on mounts and using other mediums. He also brought an interesting selection of orchids for sale and spoke on the different issues concerning each type. He is very knowledgeable on many different species and gave a very informative speech.
Meeting Notes
Meetings usually include a business meeting, a guest speaker, refreshments, a raffle, and a show-and-tell. Speakers often bring plants and/or supplies for sale. December and June meetings include a covered dish buffet with meats provided by the Society. Each fall a fund raising auction is conducted. Members who contribute plants get a share of the sale price. Also, a potting clinic is held yearly at a nearby business as a fund raiser. Orchid books are available for members to check out at each meeting.
Our group has many knowledgeable, experienced members who are happy to share information with newcomers. We welcome first-time visitors at no charge at our monthly meetings. Membership dues are very reasonable, if not even downright cheap.
Meetings are held from September through June on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. at the Leesburg Employee Wellness Center, 201 East Dixie Avenue (Venetian Gardens), Leesburg, Florida. Check out the membership information page for more details. Visitors are always welcome!
