October Meeting
"A South Florida Slipper Collection"
October 14, 2024 – Larry Cox
Larry acquired his first orchid, a cattleya, in 1972. His second was a paphiopedilum. The cattleya is long gone, but he still has a piece of the paph. When he began with paphs, he commonly heard, “You can’t grow those in South Florida,” but the first one lived and bloomed, and the love for paphiopedilum and collection continues.
