This talk is not a normal how-to-grow talk, but a compilation of tips and tricks learned over the years to make any grower, both novice and expert, better enjoy the art of growing orchids. Keith shares tips on specific culture that makes the difference between regular ho-hum blooming to having blooms worthy of awards both by the AOS and on show tables. There are several tricks discussed and demonstrated from how to make upside-down cattleya blooms turn over for a perfect display to how to make a plastic pot hanger be able to support a 25 pound pot without slipping. Other tricks include how to easily find those lost souls in the midst of the masses that we all seem to accumulate, how to make more back bulbs sprout without cutting or using harmful hormone pastes... and much more. This is more of a demonstration talk with some slides to assist in the explanations. It runs about an hour or slightly longer, but no one has yet to ever get up to leave before it was over. It may be best to cut meeting announcements to a bare minimum so that the overall length of the meeting does not go over the normal allotted time. This is a very fun and interactive talk that no one will want to miss.
