Your Committee has managed to acquire a number of Paphiopedilum crosses from Trevor Burnett which we will use as a Competition Plant at the May Meeting. These plants are Paph TB Butterscotch 'Josh' X Paph Stone Lovely 'Pastel'. The first member to flower this crossing will not only receive the usual voucher from Ezi-Gro Orchids, but also have the naming rights to this cross. This means that Trevor will register the crossing with the International Orchid Registery at the Royal Horticultural Society in London with the name of your choice and the WJOS will pay the cost of that. Here is an opportunity to have an orchid carry you name in perpetuity if you should decide to name it after yourself - as in Paphiopedilum TB Joe Blogs. (Assuming you name is Joe Blogs) Trevor adds his initials to all his crossings hence the TB at the start of the name. These plants are being sold to
members at the remarkably low price of $10 each (one per membership)
which is what the society has paid for them. They are multiple
growth Paphs which are all looking quite healthy so make sure
you attend the May meeting so you are in with a chance of immortality!! ****************************** Last years Northern

As we no longer have storage capacity in our meeting hall for the books that have been bought and donated to the society over the years, your Committee has decided to sell them to members in the first instance, and offer the remainder to the general public during the Northern Orchid & Garden Fair. Some of these books should be available at the May meeting. ******************************* We will also be having
another Competition plant in July as Bruce has been able to source
30 Dendrobiums for us. More on this in next months WJOS News. Everyone loves

conditions, any summer shading can be gradually removed. As plant growth starts to slow,
the fertiliser program needs to be This is also the time of the year that we start to see and enjoy the fruits of our year's growing, with plenty of the early flowers now beginning to appear. As flower spikes appear, mark the pot with a wooden skewer with a piece of foam on top so you are aware of all the plants that are going to flower. This also serves as a reminder to be careful when moving or cleaning nearby plants so as not to break off the valuable, long awaited buds. With buds appearing, this is the time to flush out any snails or slugs that may be in hiding, just waiting for your prize plant to bloom so they can start their festive season with nice flowers to munch. If you do not wish to use chemical-based baits you can simply cut up some lemons and place around the benches. The lemon does not kill any snails or slugs, but it does attract them. Once you know their whereabouts, you can easy eradicate them with a number 10 shoe or in my case a number 7. Continue to remove any dead leaves
from plants and also make a I would ensure that all my small
plants that are not expected to flower are repotted to ensure
they have a nice clean open mix before going into winter. Winter
and wet feet don't mix. **********************************
