Portland Orchid Society needs your blooming orchids
for our show display at the Oregon Orchid Society show.
Charles Powne is coordinating our society’s display at the OOS show and sale on the weekend of
April 26/27 at Portland State University in the Smith Ballroom, and volunteers are invited to come
help put up the display. Set-up will be on Friday, April 25, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Parking near PSU is
expensive, but if you have plants to lend us for the display, you can bring them to Charles any time
on Thursday, April 24, or give them to him at the regular POS meeting on Tuesday, April 22.
Some guidelines to consider:
— Clean up your plant. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth. Remove dead flowers and leaves. Leaves with brown tips can be trimmed.
— Make sure your plants are pest-free.
— Stake up the flowers. It makes moving them easier, and it’s safer for the flowers.
— Put the plants in a box and write your name on the outside of the box.
— Plants should have name tags, even if it’s “No ID"
— All plants will be considered for judging by the American Orchid Society. If you don’t want your plant to be judged, put a note in the pot stating, “This plant is not for AOS judging.”
— Put your name on the bottom of the pot, and make a list of the orchids you’re putting in the show, even if it’s just one plant. Include your name and contact information at the top of the page, and include it with the plants. Having the list helps us reunite your plants with you after the show.
— Plan on collecting your plants from Charles as soon as possible after the weekend.
Contact Charles to help set up the display or arrange a time to drop off plants:
