SANIBEL CAPTIVA ORCHID SOCIETY

The Sanibel Captiva Orchid Society will meet on Feb. 19 at 12:30 p.m. at Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, at 2304 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel.

The guest speaker will be Jim Roberts, owner of Florida Suncoast Orchids in Myakka City. He will discuss rebuilding one’s orchid collection post-hurricane. Roberts has been growing orchids for over 25 years in climates from Minnesota to Southwest Florida, where he moved in 2001. His orchid nursery includes over 10,000 square feet of growing space.

An orchid sale and a plant raffle will be held. In addition, those with an “ill or hurricane damaged orchid” in need of diagnosis can bring the plants to the meeting for the show-and-tell portion.
