What’s Wrong? Vern Bloch will be answering the eternal question: “What’s Wrong With My Orchid?” at the meeting on April 6th. He will have a short power point presentation and will also have some examples of problem plants.
Vern is a retired navy pilot who got into orchids after leaving the service in 1987. Two years later, he and his wife Helen became owners of the Palm Bay Orchid Range. They participated in many orchid shows around the state. They sold the nursery in 2004, but continue to do business on a small scale. For the past 20 years Vern has regularly conducted programs for orchid societies ranging from the Florida Keys to North Carolina. His main interest has always been the cattleya alliance.
Vern has a lot of nice, flowering orchids, especially Encyclias, for sale and is very adept at answering questions, so come with a lot of them.
Join us at 7:00 at the Venice Community Center.
