8:00 PM Meeting begins
Our June meeting will be special for all SFOS members and guests. We have Roy Tokunaga from Hawaii to present a program for us. Roy is one of the owners of H & R Nurseries in Waimanalo, Hawaii and is credited with 30-plus years of experience in hybridization with several thousand hybrids delivered. Most of his work has been in the Dendrobium and Cattleya alliances.
Roy has been an accredited AOS judge since 1990 and a long time member of South Florida Orchid Society. Roy will present a program titled “Dendrobiums: species, hybrids, and culture.” This program will focus on growing for the Florida hobbyist. H & R Nurseries will provide the raffle table and have plants to sell.
Guests are always welcome at our meetings. We hope you will join us for this wonderful evening!
Robert Fuchs, President of R.F. Orchids in Homestead, was inducted into the Florida Agricultural Hall of Fame in Tampa on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012. The induction ceremonies were held during the State Fair.

South Florida orchid lovers have lost yet another dear friend and fellow orchidist. On December 16th, 2011, Joyce Kelly finally succumbed to the cancer that she had been courageously fighting for a good number of years. She will be greatly missed by everyone in our orchid community.
