Carol Klonowski
WILL BE SPEAK ON
"Paphiopedilums: an Overview and How to Repot Them"
We are honored and delighted to have Carol Klonowski return to
give us one of her excellent presentations. As we are about to
enter in the Paph season, Carol’s talk on an “Overview of
Paphiopedilum” is timely and will cover the major sections of the
genus and how they differ from one another.
In addition, many species in this genus have lovely foliage that
makes the plant attractive even if out of bloom. These slipper
orchids from Asia also have various cultural requirements,
depending on where they originate. This means there is a Paph for
any orchid hobbyist, from windowsill grower to greenhouse owner,
if certain conditions are met. Carol’s talk will also cover cultural
requirements for Paphs and she will demonstrate the best way to
repot them.
Carol Klonowski has been growing orchids since the 1980's when a
friend in Berkeley, California, gave her a cattleya and it bloomed out
with three big, dark lavender flowers and an intoxicating fragrance.
She built an entire greenhouse in her backyard to accommodate
the precious plant, which only led her to buy more orchids. Then
another friend gave her a gift membership to the Orchid Society of
California and it's been a serious hobby and passion ever since.
Carol is President of the Orchid Society of California and is
currently a Fully Accredited Judge with the American Orchid
Society, California Sierra Nevada Judging Center.
Light refreshments will be served. All are welcome to attend;
attendance is free.
