Peter Lin will speak on growing orchids outdoors.
The Malibu Orchid Society, which met monthly in the Methodist Community Church on Via de la Paz before it burned in the Palisades Fire, is now meeting on Zoom. This month Peter Lin will speak on “Orchids Alfresco,” about the best orchids to grow outdoors.
The meeting will start at 7 p.m. and include a fast-paced PowerPoint presentation showing some of the best orchid species and hybrids to grow outdoors in Southern California. Lin will also discuss some of the challenges to growing outside and share general tips for growing outdoors.
This talk is suited for temperate areas. Most of the orchids featured in his talk will tolerate temperatures from 32 to 100 degrees. Lin will show us some of the best orchids to grow outdoors and provide culture tips for each orchid.
Lin started growing orchids more than 30 years ago, but then stopped because of school and starting a career. It wasn’t until about 10 years ago that the orchid “bug” came back and he is now heavily involved once again.
He is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society and a hybridizer of mini-catts. He enjoys meeting with other orchid enthusiasts, and can often be found at various orchid shows and societies around the country. He also has hundreds of photos of his orchids that he maintains on Flickr: @http://www.flickr.com/photos/ Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards. His other interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias. He maintains a collection of a thousand or more orchids at his home in Southern California in three small greenhouses, as well as in the house under fluorescent lights.
