Mark Margolis: Catasetems
I am a retired Dade County Public School science teacher. Taught 35 years in this community, married, with a daughter soon to graduate college. About forty years ago, I started taking an interest
in orchids, and then subsequently became obsessed with the Catasetum family. I am a backyard hobbyist and over the years, have acquired roughly 1000 catasetem babies. I started to take my plants for judging and began another journey in growing orchids.
I have now received about 140 awards, including two FCC’S. I enjoy spreading the news about my favorite plants, talking to many societies, local and around the country.
For my talk, I am going to explain the latest information on growing this exotic, misunderstood, easy to grow group of orchids.
This months raffle plants are being provided by Soroa Orchids!
