Where and how do I enter my orchid on the monthly Show Table?
At Sandpiper’s last meeting, Ron Ference gave a detailed talk on the process of where and how an individual places an orchid on the Monthly Show Table. Sandpiper’s Show Table plant entry form, that has been recently updated and improved, was thoroughly explained using examples of orchids found on the monthly Show Table. All of the questions asked by present members were covered to everyones approval.

David’s Monthly Orchid Tips
David Off is a 3rd generation member of the highly respected
WALDOR ORCHIDS family.
Water and Summer Heat In these “dog days of Summer”, your orchids will need extra water. If your plants are outside or they’re in a greenhouse they will need to be sprayed down almost daily (this depends on the amount of rain you get) when the temperature reaches the mid to upper 90’s. Greenhouses can become extremely hot this time of year and soaking down the floors is a great way to cool the environment down. We can drop the temperature 15 degrees or so with a good soaking. Even if you grow indoors, plants will need some extra water too. If you grow your orchids in window sills, a couple of hot sunny days will dry them out. And even if you grow under lights, since this is the growing season, most of your plants will benefit from a little more H20 to fatten up those bulbs.
This is a timely reprint from a previously issued monthly Orchid Tips column; just in time for the heat of Summer!!!
This is generally a leaf rot caused by types of fungi that are commonly classified as Cercospora or Colletotrichum. Many times this rot will start out as yellow spots, gradually turning to a brown or black color. Note that certain plants such as most Oncidium hybrids often get several small black spots on the leaves due to the sun. In this case it is natural spotting and will not harm the plant.
The best kind of treatment for this problem is to use a bactericide/fungicide spray such as Phyton 27. After treatment, examine to
see if the spots are increasing in size or number within a week to 10 days. If you have successfully rid of the problem, the spots should dry up and turn brown. If there are still signs of new rot, repeat treatment. Leaves that are heavily covered in rot should be
completely removed. Make sure you sterilize whatever tool you may use to remove the infected leaves with as it can spread the disease to other plants.
I've got black spots on my leaves, what could this be?

Why are my orchid’s leaves wrinkled?
Wrinkled or pleated leaves are caused by a lack of moisture reaching the vegetative part of the plant. This can be caused by not watering
enough, or watering too much. If you can’t figure out what you’ve done, tip the plant out of the pot and examine the roots. If they are white
or tan, firm, and spread throughout the mix, you need to increase the frequency of watering. If the roots appear brown and mushy, trim them
off, repot into a new mix, and decrease the frequency of watering. Always remember, orchids should never stand in water!
