FLAMINGO GARDENS ORCHID SOCIETY MEETING

We are delighted to have Keith and Dina Emig, owners of Winter Haven Orchid Nursery in Winter Haven, present “Vandaceous…But Not Vandas”. Keith and Dina grow, hybridize and register plants in the Oncidium, Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Vanda, and Dendrobium alliances, and have created their own genera (Emigara). They have received more than 45 American Orchid Society awards, so far, including nine for their original crosses. Keith’s orchid journey started with a trip to the dentist where, on the receptionist’s desk, was a small plant with three leaves and an inflorescence with twenty blooms suspended in a beautifully presented fashion. What resulted was an uncontrollable driving force of endless experimentation to better grow and flower these plants. Keith and Dina will be sharing their growing knowledge Because they believe there is no substitute for the company of other enthusiasts, with whom to share this fever. Meet us August 12,2024! At Flamingo Gardens, Mary N. Porter Learning Center 3750 S. Flamingo Rd. Davie, Fl. Doors open at 7pm program starts at 7:30pm
