April 2 - Moir's Weeds: Tolumnias
Courtney Hackney, Hybridizer
Courtney 's talk is titled "Moir's Weeds: Domesticating Equitant Oncidiums, aka Tolumnias".
Tolumnias are twig epiphytic
orchids with colorful flowers that grow
where morning rains and dews wet them and the trade winds dry them
by nightfall. Their petite size and
ability to adapt to a fairly wide range of conditions make
them suitable for growing spaces under lights or on
windowsills. After the first blooms fade, there is often a secondary
spike waiting to form and provide several more weeks of bloom.
Emeritus Professor, Author, and Hybridizer Courtney Hackney will
explain the hybridization of these Equitant Oncidiums.
Courtney will not be bringing Tolumnia hybrids to the meeting. He will have a large selection of his Cattleya hybrids available, many of which will bloom this fall and winter. Here is his
listing of available hybrids. If you see something that you must have, send requests to Hackneau@Comcast.net.
Please remember that Courtney accepts Pay Pal, checks and of course cash, but not credit cards.
