President’s Comments: At the January General Meeting I mentioned that, due to an unfortunate mix-up, our hall was booked out for the weekend of our June meeting, so our meeting would be held on the fifth Friday – 29 June – with Novice/New Growers on Sunday 1 July. I strongly regret any confusion. Unfortunately word is around that this change refers to another meeting so I confirm my January advice that June is the month this year that we meet on 29th, with Novices on 1 July. Our recent committee meeting considered the loss of our Patron and decided to leave the position vacant until the A.G.M. in October. Jean and I attended a City Council briefing on running a Not for Profit organisation where we were advised that within the next year or so Queensland would fall into line with other states by “combining” By-Laws with the Constitution as part thereof. This would mean that if any matter now included in the By-Laws, such as annual subscriptions, required alteration then we would need to complete the whole process of a change of constitution. Currently By-Laws may be changed by the management committee. It was suggested that “By-Laws” be changed to “Policy” and printed in another book instead of at the back of the constitution – why must life be made so difficult? Bus trip to Ingham for the Herbert River Orchid & Allied Plant Society Inc. Field Day on 15 April will cost members $20 per head, plus lunch $10 or non members $25 per head plus $10 for lunch – with a raffle we may just break even.

This month has five Fridays so make sure to come to our meeting on 23 March - the fourth Friday. The Autumn Show is on the following weekend with a few vacancies still on the work roster. Let‟s use the show as part of our 65th Year celebrations. Best Wishes to Warren for his surgery now scheduled for 2 April – he had a respiratory problem on the earlier proposed date unfortunately. Also to the members who are in hospital or not well enough to attend meetings our Best Wishes to you for a fast and successful recovery. Keep on growing those orchids. W Nicholson

Novice/New Growers Report: On a stormy afternoon on the 26th February, 63 members and visitors were welcomed to our second meeting for the year 2012. Before the afternoon activities commenced, a minute silence was observed for our Patron, the late Min Korsman who passed away on the 22nd February. Our sincere condolences go to Peter and family on their sad loss. She will be sadly missed by all members of the orchid fraternity throughout Australia and overseas. A general discussion on the benching of your orchid plants for the coming Autumn Show took place regarding placing your T.O.S number on the back of the Orchid label, clean and disease free plants, no broken or dilapidated pots and orchid pots to be free standing. We would like to encourage all the novice growers to bring along their plants for our Autumn Show.

Noel gave a brief summary on a couple of orchid species plants regarding their origin and habit also as Noel is our librarian officer is always on hand to help members with orchid books from the library. A question was asked about yellow leaves on a small dendrobium plant and it was suggested to apply a small amount of Epsom Salts (Magnesium Sulfate) to your fertiliser mixture when you fertiliser your orchids but not on your Cattleya plants. It is very pleasing to see the number of flowering that our member bring along for the Popular Voting Competition and the result in the Novice Section was Michelle Carroll 1st, Susan Wilson 2nd and Tina Phillips 3rd. The Open Section Wal & Lyn Carlill was placed 1st & 2nd with Norma Palin 3rd. Our thanks go to Jeff and Alison for showing us a slide programme of their holiday they had in Singapore and also some slides of the 20th World Orchid Conference which they attended whilst there. The Phalaenopsis seedlings that we were left over from the Phalaenopsis Seedling Competition last year were placed on the Lucky Door Table which created a lot of interest especially to our newer members. Thank you to Jeff and Alison for looking after and caring for these plants for us. The Townsville Orchid Society Inc. will be hiring a Bus to go to Ingham on the 15th April for their field day, please put your name on the list at our next Friday night or Sunday meetings as we need to fill the bus. Cost will be $30 for T.O.S members and $35 for non members with lunch inclusive. Once again we were treated to a wonderful afternoon tea, birthday cakes and party caps and we must also thank you all for your wonderful support with donations of Multi Raffle Prizes and the Raffle Ticket Sales. Warren Sewell

VALE MINNIE (MIN) KORSMAN

It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our Patron Min who has been a very loyal and hard working member with husband Peter since joining in 1985. In addition to being Patron at the end, Min attained another milestone as our first ever Female President. She and Peter very generously donated many plants, cuttings and other goods over the years. Min also led our Floral Art classes about twenty years ago and was in charge of Catering and Hospitality (the kitchen) for a number of years. Min will be sadly missed by all and we extend our sincere condolences to Peter and family members.

He hired a young botanist, John Lindley, to describe the plants in his collection, and in 1821 Lindley published a book in which he described C. labiata as a new species and established the genus Cattleya, naming it in honour of William Cattley. Cattleya labiata was not the first cattleya to be discovered – that honour goes to C. maxima, which was found in 1777 by Spanish botanists Hipolito Ruiz and Jose Antonio Pavon, but not described and named until 1831. The new, large-flowered Cattleya labiata created a sensation, with many wanting to import more plants – but nobody knew where to find them! There was confusion about where Swainson had found the orchid (it was thought it came from the Rio de Janeiro area (1000 km south of Pernambuco)), Swainson by this time was in New Zealand and could not be contacted, and Cattleya labiata was not rediscovered for over 70 years. Cattleya labiata is the „type‟ species for the genus, being the first to be described. The other largeflowered cattleyas, such as C. warneri, C. mossiae and C. trianaei are often referred to as being in the Labiata Group of cattleyas. It is one of the uni-foliate cattleyas (having one leaf), which include the largeflowered cattleyas, but also some smaller-flowered species, such as C. luteola, C. iricolor and C. walkeriana.

In Noel’s Bush House 3 Cattleya labiata (Lindley 1821)

I find Cattleya labiata a typically easy to grow cattleya. It is grown in a medium sized pot with Quincan gravel. Given regular fertiliser, it flowers each year, and is a welcome sign of the start of autumn. Flowering is initiated by the shortening of the day length into autumn. This is a wonderful orchid. And it has a wonderful perfume! Photo by N.Grant

The naturalist William Swainson discovered this orchid in the province of Pernambuco (Northern Brazil) in 1817 and shipped it with other plants to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. They were asked to send some divisions to a tropical plant collector in Barnet, England named William Cattley. Cattley flowered the first C. labiata in November 1818.

Show Report Firstly, thank you to all those members who have placed their name on the show roster for both the show and kitchen. The success of our show relies on those who volunteer their valuable time. th

Show setup is on Thursday 29 March from 11 am with the show starting Friday 30th and continuing through to Sunday 1st April.

Fig 1 front of tag - name of plant Fig 2 back of tag - your member number Fig 3 sales tag - (curved venetian blind tags not permitted) price and number must be provided

All those who intend to enter orchids in the show, must have them at the hall before 6.30pm on the Thursday. We hope to encourage all members to enter their flowering orchids - the more flowers presented the better the show. For those new members the following information will help you to present your orchids for showing. This information is available in the calendar that Jean Nicholson designed and also in the information you received when you became a member of the club. The following is important information. Ensure pots are clean and in good order. Ensure plants are free from pests. Remove all dead leaves and sheaths. If unstable place into another larger pot. Ensure labels are easy to read and has your TOS number on the back. (the only way that you can be identified). You are not required to place your orchids in their sections, just bring them to the hall and leave them on the tables provided, the responsible people in charge of setting up the sections will place them for you, the following examples should assist you in providing the correct information. (I have used my member number as an example)

Sales: The sales people will not be able to sell your plants if you do not have a tag attached, and more importantly they will not know who to pay if you do not include your member number. Meetings A valuable source of information as to how orchids are judged and what judges are looking for is an important part of the Friday night General meetings. At this meeting flowering orchids are tabled, judged and awarded points. After the judging a commentary is given by the Registrar, Ted Boon, where he highlights the good and bad of the presented flowers. This is an interesting and informative meeting especially for new growers. Door and raffle prizes are also on offer at this meeting. by V-P Fred Marnock
