Growing up, Michael Sinn hiked the jungles of South America whenever he could, in search of Cattleyas in their natural habitats.
Michael’s deep commitment to conservation and preservation instinctively drew him toward the breeding of Cattleyas and Laelias.
Witnessing their dwindling numbers in the wild strengthened his resolve to produce the finest cultivars of Cattleya species possible.
In 2003, Michael brought his wife and three children to Florida where he created his own nursery business – Canaima Orchids.
His vision remains constant: to conserve native species by creating superior plants from seed-raised populations, producing rare and unusual color forms that were only a dream a generation ago.
With Daryl Yerdon ofKelley’s Korner Orchid Supplies
With help from more experienced growers, each member can pot and have potted a reasonable number of plants, using materials supplied by CAIOS.
Expect to get your hands dirty and dress warmly as needed for this outdoor (under the tent) affair.
Please warn the Society (Tom G. 508 540-2054) if you have a giant Cymbidium to repot so that a BIG machete and big pots can be brought.
If you need bark or any orchid supplies, sprays, fertilizer, potting media, tools, fertilizers, pots, etc., you can pre order from Kelley’s Kornerand save shipping cost, which can be brutal for bark. KK has a good catalog, so ordering anything ahead will ensure delivery at the meeting. -- http://www.kkorchid.com/
