September With TOC + Orchid Expo Success

Ridge Orchid Society Show

Thank you to all of the members who lent their beautiful plants for our display at the Ridge Orchid Society Show at the beginning of September. Of course thank you to the display team for all of their hard work and creativity. There were plenty of ribbons and show trophies in our display.

September TOC Meeting

At the September meeting meeting Mike Sands of Tangled Roots Nursery in Loxahatchee, FL presented a program on the types of common and unique orchids to grow in our area. 

Beautiful Bloom Table

The bloom table was quite beautiful and interesting as usual.

TOC Expo 2025 Recap

Expo 2025 on October 4th & 5th was a fabulous weekend of orchids displayed and judged, vendors to buy new orchids, supplies, raffle and even some art. Many thanks to all the vendors, AOS judges, and Cheryl Crilly and her team of volunteers for 3 days making the event go so smoothly.

For the most current information on the next Tampa Orchid Club meeting see our homepage at www.tampaorchidclub.com. We hope to see you on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 for our next meeting as Tristan from Palmer Orchids discusses pests and diseases with orchids here in Florida.

Happy growing!
