Twenty-three members and guests attended the June 13th Growers Clinic. Jim Thomas focused on growing basics and offered advice for problem plants members had brought in. Jim and Carol Wood brought several examples of plants in different pots, containers and mounts and discussed the best media and containers for commonly grown orchids in our area. The next clinic, July 11th, will be a repotting clinic. Bring in your plants for demonstrations and advice on repotting. Guests are welcome!
