2022/11 November ORCHIDS Magazine

This month features an article written by Sandra Micucci, one of our Canadian members detailing her growing areas and how she has created spaces to manage her collection in a rigorous climate. There is something here for everyone and jam-packed with useful information. Dr. Joseph Arditti helps us understand why most orchid flowers rotate through 180 degrees to bring the lip lowermost (resupination), a most curious phenomenon. Clare Hermans and Johan Hermans introduce us to a largely unknown 19th century orchid painter, Émilie Vouga and Arthur Chadwick revists Mrs. Herbert Hoover and her namesake cattleya.
