August 25 - Meeting
Collector's Series Part V
Maxillaria tenuifolia

​

The Portland Orchid Society is excited to continue our popular Collector’s Series with Part V, which 

is coming up, and this time we’re featuring an orchid that you may smell before you see! Famous for its wonderfully fragrant flowers
that smell remarkably like coconut, Maxillaria tenuifolia is a fun, rewarding species that deserves a place in every orchid
collection. During the meeting, there will be a dedicated presentation on Maxillaria tenuifolia covering

 essential topics such as culture, lighting, watering,  and fertilization to help ensure your success in growing this species.  

 

 Collector’s Series Plant Giveaway

As part of our Collector’s Series, each membership attending the meeting will receive a
Maxillaria tenuifolia orchid, which you will pot or mount at the meeting for you to take home.

 

 

People’s Choice Awards Reminder

Don’t forget to bring your blooming orchids to the meeting for our People’s Choice Awards, and we encourage you to grow your
Maxillaria tenuifolia on and bring it back in bloom for a future People’s Choice event.

 

We look forward to sharing another exciting installment of our Collector’s Series with you.
