July's Summer Hummer Event is Here!!!

Greetings!

we are brimming with excitement to invite you back for our 2018 summer event.

Summer Hummer is Here!

O ur Summer Weekend is just that: a whole weekend full of fun, festivities, and cultural experiences for all! There are games, raffles, and even live music on Saturday!

Even the avocado trees get into the swing of things by contributing 250 fruits to make up our guacamole bowl! Bring your comfy shoes, and be prepared to relax while enjoying a weekend full of rare orchids and international orchid community. This event will require more than just an hour, or two of your time to fully enjoy. So plan ahead to take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to learn, laugh, munch and pick up a few stunning additions to your garden, greenhouse or home!

Absolutely do not miss a chance to observe the afternoon Neofinetia falcata judging session at 2:00pm Saturday. This is an amazing event, and unique opportunity to enjoy a world renowned genus, learn how to grow and bloom your own plant into a stunning specimen, and add a new cultivar to your own collection to enjoy for years to come.

Come for the plants, absolutely, but you will leave Cal-Orchid smiling for many, many reasons!!!

Our 2018 Guest Vendors:

AFRI ORCHIDS

Lourens Grobler's skill and knowledge concerning African Orchid s is like no other. He has only been to the US for sales a few times and has sold out every time. This time he will have a large inventory of plants (even some cycads) and we are hoping to set aside time on Saturday morning for him to give a presentation on culture as well.

This is a very professional and well respected nursery, specializing in a wide variety of species from Peru . Last time they came to sell at Cal they had very strong sales, so shop early!
