The Cymbidium Orchid Club of South Australia exists to promote the growing and showing of Cymbidium Orchids in South Australia. It is different to all other Orchid Clubs in South Australia, because it is a single orchid genera club. The Club does not sell orchids to the public. Club members sell their plants at the trading tables associated with the annual shows.
This year…
2024’s guest speaker program has provided members with information on the history of orchid and cymbidium growing and has looked at plants that are historically important; has investigated a range of pests and viruses and ways to manages these; and has highlighted the practices of very successful cymbidium growers. Thanks to all who have been involved in presenting such a varied and informative program.
The Club has hosted two extremely successful shows this year: the Winter Show at Port Adelaide Plaza Shopping Centre and the Spring Show at West Lakes Shopping Centre.
The first meeting for 2025 will be on Wednesday 26th February at the Burnside Community Centre, starting at 8pm, with the usual Beginners session starting at 7:15pm. New members are welcome!
