Mother's Day Show Riverside Mall

Laelia albida x Laelia anceps - HQ Orchids Remember about the annual Mother's Day Show in the Riverside Mall (new foyer), 11 - 13 May. Just a few arrangements to help things run smoothly: We need as many plants as possible and would appreciate it if all members could bring a plant or two. It is a big space and every plant helps. Who knows, yours might just be the winning one. All show plants should be there at 18h00 on Thursday, 10 May and building of the display will start then as well. Judging will take place on Friday morning from 07h30 and the show will open to the public from 09h00. Show times are as follows: Friday 09h00 to 18h00 Saturday 09h00 to 18h00 ...

Alternatively, meet us at the Hops Hollow Brewery on Longtom at 09h00. Disa amoena Remember to bring a hat, sunscreen, walking shoes, rain gear, camera and a light picnic. Please let Jolisa (079 492 9385) know if you would like to join us; we do not want to leave anybody behind. And of course, non-members are also welcome. A little bit of background for those who have never been: The Longtom Mountain range is a hotspot for orchids and other high-altitude plants. Many species are endemic, and you wi...
