Thelymitra ixioides
Spotted Sun Orchid
Plant Name: Pholidota imbricata
Exhibitor: George Tsambourakas
Owners Comments:
Pholidota is a well-known Genus of about 30 Species of
medium sized orchids, native to numerous countries from India
to North Australia.
It is closely related to Coelogyne, Dendrochilum, etc. The
pseudo bulbs carry up to two leaves; the inflorescences arise
from the apex and carry numerous small flowers.
All species grow best in pots with a well-drained mixture.
Theoretically, should be treated the same way as Coelogyne.
Cultural Notes: I find them less demanding and although I
protect the plant from direct sunlight, I pay no special attention
all year around. It loves living a neglected life and it rewards me
with flowers every year for ignoring it. It is one of the easiest
orchids to grow. Furthermore, I never noticed any pests
attacking it I guess it is too ugly, even for pests.

GUEST SPEAKER FOR THE APRIL MEETING
The Guest Speaker for the April meeting will be Nick Woolley.
He'll speak on light, fertilizer etc.
The English Plural according to....George Carlin 1937-2008
We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. If the plural of man is always called men,
Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth? Then one may be that, and three would be those,
Yet hat in the plural would never be hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cose
We speak of a brother and also of brethren, But though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

Some Plants tabled at the March Meeting.
Cattleya 60-100mm featured a plant labelled Slc.
Jumbalaya, the nearest name to it I could locate was
Rth. Jungle Jumbalaya. It presented one bloom, (and I
could only locate one other flowered bulb), on a plant
with about twenty pseudobulbs; as the earliest surviving
bulbs, which were also still holding their leaves, were
quite small compared to that flowering, it would be
fairly safe to suggest it was a seedling in it’s first
flowering season. The bloom was predominantly
yellow, the lip’s red mid-lobe colour extended as a
stripe to the rear thereof. There was also quite a
number of small spots to the face of the tepals, on the
sepal more to their tip regions while those on the petals
were more plentiful around the edges.
Two plants of Rlc. Mount Isa ‘Jean’ were tabled in
Cattleys over 100mm, one with a single bloom the other
with two. This clone has been around for quite some
time, the grex being registered in 1982 with a number of
other good varieties being named.
The blooms were predominantly yellow with white to
basal region of the petals, the lips had red-purple tips
their goffered perimeters edged a pale tone of this
colour with a band of yellow between there and the
striping, from the mid-lobe which went back into the
throat. The single bloom had slightly better form than
those of the plant with two to support; this latter plant’s
flowers were also somewhat darker.
The blooms’ base colour of Rlc. Glenn Maidment
‘Southern Cross’ was pale pink with lavender veining
over the petals with some vertical lines of this to petal
tips and ventral sepals, the rosy mauve-purple to tip of
lip also occurred in lines to the throat creating yellow
eyes to interior of side lobes.
Dendrobium (Dal’s Pixie x Dal’s Pride ‘Algester’) x
Den. (Dal’s Dazzler ‘Bette’ x Burana Stripe) carried
four spikes with from eight to ten blooms, plus buds to
each; flowers were of superb full shape with inner petal
edges meeting in centre of blooms and added to this,
broad well shaped lips. Overall colour was purple with
darker veining to all segments; flowers were generally
well presented on slightly arched spikes.
The flowers of an un-named Phalaenopsis in Novice
Any Other Genus were of a pale base tone veined and
brushed mauve-lavender, its blooms were interesting in
that the flattened, broadened lip shapes suggested
pelorism, all lobe tips were edged white and well
displayed on an upright spike.
Tabled in Species Monopodial was an Angraecum
longicalcar whose long straight spike protruded at an
angle from the main stem and presented clear of the
long furrowed leaves that formed a large fan-like shaped
plant; said spike had one bud above six open flowers,
their pale green tepals backed broad white squarish lips
that were tipped with narrow triangular slightly furled
extensions with the long spurs (nectaries) typical of this
species, and indeed its genus.
We were informed during the plant commentary that
this exhibit was a first flowering seedling; and along
with very clean foliage and evidence of overall good
culture was an example of how orchids, not only
Angracums, should be grown.
Dwarfed by the previous plant but non-the-less most
worthy of comment was a plant of Rhyncostyles
coelestis ‘Blue’, this well flowered entry carried two
upright spikes each with upward of forty blooms, the
bluish lips were backed by predominantly white petals
that had a touch of the lip colour to their outer edges.
To best appreciate a plant such as this is to observe it at
eye level.
Species Sympodial presented a Paph. superbiens which
carried a single bloom on a tall stem above yellowish
green foliage that was tessellated a darker green, the
pouch was a dark, somewhat brownish red and the
dorsal sepal’s pale base tone carried vertical reddish
stripes from the base almost to it’s tip while some of the
upper stripes were greenish with some yellow colouring
between. The reverse of both dorsal and ventral (or
synsepel) was coloured as for the front. The base of the
dorsal was slightly reflexed at both lower corners. The
petals were acutely pendant, their tips curling
symmetrically inwards towards the bottom of the pouch,
were whitish, and flushed and lined green with
numerous, almost black spots, with short black hairs to
their edges.
The current issue of the Orchid Society of Great Britian
Journal carries a book review on a recent publication,
The Genus Calanthe, and as some calanthe plants as
well as intergeneric hybrids with them appear from time
to time at our meetings perhaps this information could
be of use to the growers concerned.
The authors are Dudley Clayton who wrote The Genus
Coelogyne: A Synopsis and Dr. Phillip Cribb who has
written and co-authored an extremely large number of
publications that cover a most diverse botanical subject
matter.
The O.S.G.B. reviewer, Dr. Henry Oakeley remarks that
this is the first monograph in England on Calanthe. I
found the book store, Florilegium in Sydney has it
stocked at $90 and offer the advise that its the first book
on the subject since Lindley’s in 1883. Whatever the
case an up-to-date account has been long overdue.
The O.S.G.R. also sent with the journal a flyer advising
of a forthcoming book on Aerangis, Isobyl la Croix
being its author. This book is being published to co-
incide with the W.O.C. in September 2014. Anyone
interested in more information can visit
www.aerangisbook.com where one can also register
interest now to be eligible to purchase same at a special
pre-publication price.
SAID PRICE YET TO BE ADVISED!

Autumn is now in the air here in Sydney. Dew is on the
ground, with nice sunny days. At the February orchid get
together we had Peter Albery here talking about growing
media and water holding capacity etc. He gave us a few
notes over to put in our newsletter on the above subject.
So below, is his notes on “Air Space in Media” A simple
test to determine ‘air fill porosity’ in growing media.
“Air Space in Media”
1. Select a very clean 130 or 125 mm diameter standard
pot, that means a standard pot, not a squat pot
2. Using industrial standard duct take, from your local
hardware store, tape over the drainage holes, externally.
Not inside the pot. This needs to be done carefully and
thoroughly, to prevent leakage. Best to get the tape to
adhere down the pot, starting at the bottom ⅓ and
stretched, free of creases if possible and tucked under the
base to the centre of the base. Simply sticking the tape
around the base only is not good enough to prevent rapid
water leakage. Use several layers of tape if needed, but
bear in mind that the tape has to be removed to complete
the test. Therefore, it is easier to remove by pulling the
tape downwards, instead of around the pot. Alternatively, a
tight fitting fridge polythene bag is acceptable, but several
rubber bands are needed to hold the bag very tightly to the
pot base over the drainage holes.
3. Obtain a calibrated jug, ½ to 1L volume. Then fill the
jug or beaker to the 1L mark, (or ½ L mark if it is a 500ml
beaker). Pour the water into the pot to the normal volume
you would have your potting media, or simply fill it almost
to the brim. Measure the volume of water held by this pot,
record the volume and tip the water out of the pot.
4. Now fill the pre taped pot with the growing media you
wish to test, not too wet, not too dry, but just moist is ok.
Just fill the pot and tap the pot down, but gently as you
would if potting up a plant.
5. Fill the jug or beaker again to the 1L mark. Ensure that
this is done very accurately. Now slowly add the water to
the media in the pot prepared with the taped up drainage
holes. Be gentle and pour the water slowly. Add enough
water to fill all the air holes in the media to absolutely full.
This is when a film of water is just appearing on the media
surface but most importantly, not above the media surface.
If the pot is leaking badly, then start again with another
very dry pot and take much more care in the taping
procedure. Even at best it could leak a little. However,
only just a very little is allowable. Now record how much
water was needed to fill all the pore spaces in the media.
We now have recorded (1) the total pot volume and now
the maximum air space volume of the media. In my
example, the original pot volume was 860 ml and the
amount of water taken to fill the pore spaces was 500 ml.
keep this recorded.
6. Carefully remove the duct tape whilst holding the pot
over an empty, clean bucket or similar container, then
stand this pot into another, clean, upturned pot, so the pot
containing the media can drain freely into the bucket.
7. Do not tilt this pot at all, but just let it drain for a few
minutes. 10 minutes is ample, as the natural dripping from
the pot should have ceased.
8. Gently remove this pot from the bucket without tilting
it, as it will again dribble quite a bit if it is tilted. Avoid
this as much as possible. Ensure all the water in the
measuring container prior to this is poured out. Remove
the upturned pot carefully, and pour the drained water into
your measuring jug or beaker. The measuring needs to be
as accurate as possible.
9. Record how much water drained. In this experiment the
amount of drained water was 180 ml.
10. We now have 3 figures to do our equasion.
The original pot volume was 860 ml.
The total air space was 500 ml.
The drained volume was 180 ml.
This can be expressed as a percentage
Total air space of the media divided by the pot volume
500 / 860 x 100 = 58%
Drained water volume divided by the pot volume
180 / 860 x 100 = 21.18% (rounded to 2
decimal places)
The conclusion is an air filled porosity after drainage is
21.18%.
A good average is 15 to 25% air filled porosity after
drainage for most plants. It provides enough spaces for
roots to grow with enough oxygen for root health and
nutrient and water absorption.
If we subtract the % water drained from the total pore
space, we get 58 – 21.18 = 36.82 water holding
percentage. A media should be above 30% water holding
or for bedding plants in cells etc about 40% provides better
keeping for better shop shelf life etc.
What we know now is that this media in this pot needs
36.82, say 36 to 40 ml of water when we need to irrigate it.
This knowledge aids in saving water and nutrient wastage
if liquid fertilizers are being used.
The knowledge of water holding capacity, air spaces,
coupled with behaviour of plants and correct mineral or
element balance and interaction behaviour is what is
needed to design a modern functional potting media.
Those interested in propagation from cuttings should make
a media of 30% or more air filled porosity with reasonable
water holding capacity etc. (low nutrient salt and low
unwanted salts). All this and water quality knowledge is
what modern, dependable growing is all about.
The rest! The knowledge of the particular plants to be
grown; light; temperature; humidity; day length response;
disease susceptibility are all the ART of growing and yes,
we all make mistakes, but let the mistakes strengthen your
growing ability, not dishearten you. With all the latest and
best technical know-how, the ART of growing is
observation, care and passion for what you are growing.

COMMITTEE NOTES APRIL 1st, 2014
The committee discussed arrangements for the upcoming table-top display at the Brisbane Orchid Society Show at Mt
Gravatt State School on 12th and 13th April. Set-up is at 4pm on Friday 11th April. Please contribute flowering plants for
the display. Pick-up again on Sunday afternoon.
Floral Art Workshops were very successful. The Committee has agreed that those members who would like to display
arrangements and /or corsages at meeting nights could use the table near the Australian natives. This is non-competitive.
Members should feel free to take home and fill in a nomination form for benching plants at the monthly meetings. Some
members’ writing is hard to read.
POTTING SUPPLIES ORCHIATA Bark is available FROM Ken Martin, Phone 3341 5474. 9 Dianna Street UNDERWOOD.
It is available in 4 sizes, Small 6-9mm, Medium 9-12mm, Large 12-18mm and Extra Large 18-25mm.
The price to LADOS members is $25.00 per 40L bag,.
Coconut Chips are available in 2 sizes, small and large from Ken @ $11.00 per block.
Ken has also taken delivery of Perlite which is now available from him.
Adrian has sourced Charcoal in 10L bags @ $10 a bag and is available from Ken.
Students and Instructors at the Floral Art course held at Jan McKenzie’s residence. Left to right Margaret Tierney, Glenys Cox, Helen Murray, Chris Cox, Sue Mackley, Jan McKenzie, Heather Forman, Kerry
On Saturday, 22nd March, the second floral art workshop was held. The first workshop earlier in March had
been on the subject of Floral Arrangements and this last one was on Corsages. Helen Murray taught the
sessions and she was ably assisted by Margaret Tierney.
The society supported the idea of floral art workshops to encourage greater member participation in the Floral
Art Section of the August show. When so many members expressed interest in learning, the plan was put into
operation.
Each of the members who attended made an arrangement and a corsage. This might indicate that there will be
greater numbers of entries in this section of the show.
Special thanks must go to Margaret Tierney for her personal help to many of us (my arrangement and corsage
would not have been as successful without her.) Secondly, I would like to thank Barry Scriven for delivering
orchids to us on the mornings of the workshops.
Going on the photo, everyone looked to be having a good time. It was really enjoyable.
Jan McKenzie.
As a follow up to the course it was decided by the committee to make room on the monthly display tables for a
section of Non-Competitive Floral Art, this will allow the ladies to get experience at the making and presenting
their handy work.

Cattleya bicolor Lindl
ORCHID SPECIES BULLETIN. VOL. 42 No 3 March 2014
Cattleya bicolor Lindl. is a distinctive member of the genus on account of its
labellum which lacks side-lobes.
John Lindley described this species in the Botanical Register in 1836, based
upon a painting by M.E. Descourtilz. The specific epithet comes from the
Latin bi (two) and color (colour) for the two-toned blooms. Plants were not
seen in European cultivation until Messrs Loddiges of Hackney imported
plants to England in 1838 (or 1837 according to Jack Fowlie).
C. bicolor is a large sympodial epiphytic plant that has clustered terete, long and
slender pseudobulbs which are variable in height depending upon cultivation
and also subspecies. The 25-80 cm tall pseu-dobulbs consist of 5-8 internodes and are longitudinally grooved. At the apex
of each pseudobulb are two or sometimes three narrowly lanceolate or broadly elliptic leathery leaves which are 12-20 cm
long and 2.5-5 cm broad. An inflorescence that is 10-25 cm long carries 2-10 (or more) showy flowers from a green and
purple-mottled sheath at the pseudobulb apex.
Slightly fragrant, the flowers are 7.5-10 cm across and have coppery-brown, tawny -yellow to olive or green-brown sepals
and petals. Sometimes the sepals and petals may be finely spotted with maroon or purple-brown. The lip is white and is
flushed with lavender purple to pale rose, which is usually more intense centrally. It has a crimson mid-lobe that is edged
pink, sometimes with a white margin. Its column is white, suffused with lavender-pink. The rare albino form C. bicolor
fma. alba Fowlie has apple-green sepals and petals and a white column and lip.
Endemic to Brazil, C. bicolor grows as three races that have been recognised by Jack Fowlie (1977) as three subspecies. C.
bicolor subsp. bicolor is a coastal population that is distributed in eastern São Paulo, central Rio de Janeiro and south-
western Espírito Santo. Subsp. bicolor has spathulate petals and a lip mid-lobe that is barely dilated and hardly notched at
the tip. It is found between 700-1,000 m (to as high as 1,800 m) altitude.
The other two races are tetraploid plants and are found in the Brazilian interior in Minas Gerais and Brasilia. C. bicolor
subsp. minasgeraisensis Fowlie is found in Minas Gerais at around 1,000-1,200 m elevation. This subspecies is larger in
all dimensions than subsp. bicolor. It is distinguished by the broader, more expanded kidney-shaped mid-lobe that is
usually margined with white.
C. bicolor subsp. brasiliensis Fowlie comes from Brasilia and has club-shaped petals with undulate margins and a
broadly dilated kidney-shaped mid-lobe that has a notched apex. The flowers of subsp. brasiliensis are dark brown
with a crimson-purple lip that virtually lacks any white.
C. bicolor requires bright light such as 50-70% shade and a well-drained potting medium. It can be grown in a pot or
basket and also mounted. If potted, the roots should be allowed to dry between waterings as they do not tolerate con
tinually wet conditions. Good air circulation is important at all times as well as high humidity during the warmer months.
In winter the plants need a drier rest with reduced watering. Occasional waterings or misting of the roots in the mornings
will ensure that the pseudobulbs do not shrivel excessively. I recommend a winter minimum of 12ºC.
