Cultural plant from 2012

We are calling back last year's culture plants, Dendrobium teretifolia, for a

show and tell session at the August meeting. Bring them in regardless of

condition so we can all learn a bit about how to grow this species better. There

should be a few mature plants in flower at this meeting so we can see what the

little seedlings can develop into over time.

Winners of trophies at the 2011 Spring Show should

return them at the August meeting so that they are ready

for the next Show.

NOSSA SPRING SHOW 22-23 SEPTEMBER 2012 St Bernadette’s Hall, South Road, St Marys

Plants for display and sale can be taken to St Bernadette’s Hall on Friday 21st September between the

hours of 2pm and 8pm. If you cannot get to the show setup until after work, please notify Bodo

Jensen (Show Marshall) or Bill Dear of your estimated arrival time to ensure the hall remains open.

Judging will commence at 8am on Saturday 22nd

. The show will be open to the public from 10am.

Entries in the Floral Art section have until 10am Saturday to complete their arrangements. We need

all your flowering plants to make a show. Remember it is a show not just a contest. Your plants are

there to impress and create interest amongst the general public, not just because they are expected to

win a prize.

Nomination forms will NOT be required. All plants will be judged. If you have not owned the plant

for six months or more or you do not wish your plant to be judged please indicate by placing the

letters NFJ on your plant label attached to the plant. Plants damaged in transit to the show should

display a red streamer on the pot. Parts of the damaged plant, i.e. flowers that have been broken off,

must be placed on the top of the pot. The details must be written on the “Damaged Plant List” held

at the judging table; if this is done the plant will be judged in the normal way.

Orchid seedlings flowering for the first time should display a white streamer on the plant. (Note: this

class is for seedlings, not a mericlone - see definition of seedling in ‘Spring Show Conditions’

elsewhere in this Journal). Streamers will be available at the judging table.

Labels: All plants should have a label attached. The public like to see the name of the orchid they

are looking at. Please take care in writing your labels ensuring they are easily readable and attach

them to the plant so the judges and the public can see them.

The show closes at 4pm on Sunday 23rd

. All plants to be removed by 5pm.

Please read the Spring Show Conditions elsewhere in this Journal, bring all your plants along

and enjoy the show.

Plastic bags: Please bring along to the show only plastic bags you will use yourself or

environmentally friendly bags that meet present standards.

Volunteers: are needed to man the entrance and raffle table, the trading table, answer questions and

assist the public in selecting plants.

Raffle plants: See Bodo if you have any suitable large plants in flower that can be donated as raffle

plants. Plant sales tickets can also be obtained from Bill.

No plants are for sale until the trading table opens at 10am on Saturday morning

Exhibitor Numbers. If any new growers want a number for the spring show or have forgotten their

number, see the judges at the next meeting who have a list or can arrange to get a new number for

you. Your exhibitors number is used at all orchid clubs and societies in South Australia.

Request for photographs A request from the Botanic Gardens for photographs. They have asked for photographs of the

NOSSA walks at the Mt Lofty Botanic Gardens that have people in them. They want to use the

photographs in their promotion of the Gardens.

Diuris behrii Project 2013.4 Les Nesbitt

July was a very wet month with floods in the foothills and snow on Mt. Lofty. My rain

gauge collected 262mm over the month. All plants are looking healthy although with the

rain and cold cloudy weather the Diuris leaves have grown long & floppy. At the end of

July the total number of Diuris behrii plants showing leaves was 344. Thirty six Diuris

plants are showing signs of flowering this spring, (20 clones and 16 daughter plants). The

three empty pots have been grouped together with the empty bags from 2012. No Diuris

leaves have appeared in last year’s empty bags this season. Of the three lost clones this

season only one could be replaced with a daughter tuber. We are left with 73 individual

diuris clones.

There is still no sign of any seedling leaves in pots. Some of the flasked Diuris behrii seed

is germinating with tiny white protocorms visible around the edge of the flask.

The 2 largest Pterostylis rosettes may be developing flower buds. We will try for seed on

one flowering plant and pull tubers off the other two plants in September. No buds are

visible inside the leaf of the Microtis plants in the main clone pot at this early stage.

NOSSA Conservation and Plant Growing Exercise Les Nesbitt

Seedlings in 50mm tubes will be available for $2 per plant with a limit of one plant per

member at the August meeting. Those orchids not sold at the August meeting will be

available at the September meeting for those members who missed out.

(See last month’s journal)

Culture of Dendrobium linguiforme, The tongue orchid. Les Nesbitt

In nature this species grows into large mats on rocks and trees along the east coast of NSW

and Qld. In Adelaide large plants are usually mounted on cork, tree fern or hardwood slabs

or branches. Well grown specimen plants put on a spectacular flowering show in Spring as

the whole plant is covered in feathery white flowers. It is a hardy native that requires shade

from the summer sun and regular watering in warm dry weather. This means daily watering

in summer if slab grown.

The seedlings available at the August meeting are one year out of flask. They are established

in 50mm tubes. If they are left in the tubes the creeping rhizome will climb over the rim

inside a year. I will mount my plant onto the bottom of a long cork slab. I will tap the

seedling out of its pot, shake off the bark mix and place the plant so that the roots are at the

bottom of the slab. The growing point of the plant is set facing upwards so that the plant will

grow up the slab. The roots are covered with a piece of moss and the whole lot securely tied

to the slab with nylon fishing line or old panty hose. A wire hook at the top of the slab

allows the plant to be hung up in the shadehouse facing away from the hot evening sun.

Alternatively the seedling can be mounted at eye level on a fruit tree in the back yard.

NOSSA group’s magic day Orchid hunting

R Bates

Five NOSSA members set out in one car at 6am to look for wild orchids

At our first stop on s burn we found Arachnorchis clavigera, parva, phaeoclavia, tentaculata

and venusta with hybrids between the later and the various green comb spider orchids. Fire

orchids (Pyrorchis) were in thousands as were Leptoceras and the tiny Microtidium. And

what with beard orchids, pink fingers, Glossodia, donkeys and sun orchids the cameras were

running hot.

Our second stop at Longbottoms turned up some brilliant red Arachnorchis formosa and a

surprisingly red A cardiochila as well as their hybrid. The sun orchids here were the

enigmatic T alcockiae.

Stop three had a neat array of Arachnorchis hastata but we were soon on our way to see

Pterostylis cucullata ssp cucullata near Nelson. A single flower was found under a grass

tussock and we realised that if it

was so hard to find it could still

be on the Limestone coast. A

tenth spider orchid, green and

gold A aff fragrantissima was

found in good numbers at Swan

Lake and this was the tenth

Arachnorchis in flower for the

day!

With dusk fast approaching we

headed to Caroline Forest

Reserve south of Mt Gambier

and a patch of gaping bird

orchids Simpliglottis aff valida

in good flower even a rare

double header. This was the first

any of us had seen of this

species in SA and imagine our

delight at finding a second

Simpliglottis, S. cornuta, the shy

bird orchid as both green lip and

red lip forms. With some fifty

different wild orchids in flower

for the day. An estimated 1000

plus images had been taken

between us.

Many thanks were due to Dave

Horsell and Thelma Bridle for

location info and to our transporters Kevin and Lois Sneemilch. I doubt we will ever

experience a day like it again.

The following day we found a whole different set of orchids at Honans NFR including the

brilliant Stegostyla aff iridescens, tiny Caladenia pusilla and plenty of Calochilus

paludosus.

Winner July 2013 Picture Competition

Rosalie Lawrence

Well this month had to be a record number of entries – twelve. It was good to have a picture of a

Dendrobium, reminding us that Australian orchids consist of more than just the terrestrials. The

winner though was Lorraine Badger’s Diuris orientis, always a favourite and very photogenic.

The other entries were from Claire Chesson (CC), Errol Shepherd (ES), Helen Lawrence (HL),

Jeff Ranford (JF 3rd

), Lesley Gunn (LG 3rd

), Rosalie Lawrence (RAL 2nd

), Kris Kopicki (KK),

Doug Castle (DC) and Pauline Meyer (PM 3rd

).

D orientis (common name – Wallflower

Orchid) is a common species, well

conserved across southern Australia.

In recent years, this species has featured

in some research papers notably by Dr

Fran MacGillivray.

Fran is involved with TREND –

Transects for Environmental Monitoring

and Decision Making – which looks at

species and ecosystems changes over

space and time.

In her paper, she examined records –

herbaria and photographic – from 1897 to

2005 and concluded that the Wallflower

orchid now flowers 16 days earlier.*

Such a conclusion could not have been

reached if the data had not been collected

over the decades. The people recording

the information were not thinking how it

would be used but they recorded their

observations and we have inherited a

wealth of information.

More information about our orchids can be found in South Australia’s Native Orchids DVD-ROM,

(available from NOSSA)
