WILL BE SPEAK ON
Sarcochilus Orchids: An Overview and
How to Grow Them
Sarcochilus is a species of orchids that is native to Australia. While
they can be grown in a greenhouse, they can also be grown
outdoors along-side Cattleyas and any other outdoor growing
temperate climate range orchids when their specific needs are met.
They can easily become very large specimen plants.
Most hybridizing is being done in Australia. Scott Barrie of Barrita
Orchids in Australia was most helpful to Carol in researching her
talk. Plants from Fred Clarke’s Sunset Valley Orchids in the US are
imports from Barrita Orchids and will be featured on our plant table.
Carol’s talk will show the warm and cool growing Sarcochilus plants
in all of their forms. She will discuss how to grow these plants and
describe many of the newest retail plants available. She will also
show how variable these plants can be when crosses are made.
The last item will demonstrate that you can never be too sure what
will happened with a Sarcochilus that has not yet bloomed. Her
presentation will also include many of the Australian Orchid Council
awarded plants.
Carol Beule is an EMMY award winning Costume Designer with a
Master of Fine Arts in both Costume and Lighting Design from the
University of Wisconsin, Madison. She was a professional Costume
Designer from 1974 until her retirement in July of 2017. Carol Is
now a fully accredited AOS Judge.
She has grown all species of orchids on her patio and two small
greenhouses. Since purchasing a home at the base of the
Hollywood Hills 24 years ago, it has been her quest to discover
which orchids will thrive in the unique climate she has in the
exceedingly dry & hot San Fernando Valley and its surrounding
communities.
Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend;
attendance is free.
