Orchid Society

JOIN THE FLAMINGO GARDENS ORCHID SOCIETY!

Second Monday of Every Month at 7 PM

Interested in orchids but don’t know where to start? Maybe you’re a seasoned orchid grower that wants to connect with like-minded people and participate in continued education?

The Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society was organized in 1989 to unite those interested in the education of its members with respect to the culture, growing, hybridization, preservation, and perpetuation of native and hybrid orchids and to provide an environment for the exchange of this information.

FGOS meets on the second Monday of every month here at Flamingo Gardens in the Mary N. Porter Learning Center. Doors open at 7pm.  Enthusiasts of all levels are welcome! Monthly speaker presentations, plant raffles, access to online orchid resources, and more are included in your membership.

Flamingo Gardens Orchid Society Meeting

Monday, August 12th, 2024

Keith and Dina Emig owners of Winter Haven Orchid Nursery, present “Vandaceous…But Not Vandas”.

Keith and Dina grow, hybridize, and register plants in the Oncidium, Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Vanda, and Dendrobium alliances, and have created their own genera (Emigara). They have received more than 45 American Orchid Society awards so far, including nine for their original crosses. Keith’s orchid journey started with a trip to the dentist where on the receptionist’s desk was a small plant, with three leaves and an inflorescence of twenty blooms suspended in a beautifully presented fashion. What resulted was an uncontrollable driving force of endless experimentation to better grow and flower these plants. Keith and Dina will share their growing knowledge because they believe there is no substitute for the company of other enthusiasts with whom to share this fever. 

Meeting will be held in the Learning Center at Flamingo Gardens.


3750 S. Flamingo Rd., Davie, FL.
Doors open at 7pm; Program begins at 7:30 pm
