Jill Godfrey will be speaking on “Thin-Leafed Orchids of South Florida: Stanhopeas, Sobralias, and Calanthes.” Jill is a Miami Native who started growing orchids at the age of 12 and joined the North Miami Amateur Orchid Club. She worked for the firm of Jones and Scully when they were located on the Miami River in the late ‘70’s.
Jill currently is a member of Orchid Society of Coral Gables and Coalition for Orchid Species. She continues her orchid education at Florida- Caribbean Judging Center where she has been an AOS judge for 20 years. She is the judg-ing center’s Chairman. Her favorite orchid genera is Cattleyas, but she also grows Nobile Dendrobiums, Callista Dendrobiums, and a wide variety of species which include Calan-the, Sobralia and Stanhopea.
If you have ever had an interest in the orchids that bloom from the bottom of the pot (Stanhopeas) or the other plants that have thin-leaves, this will be a great lecture. Jill is very knowledgeable and even if you are not familiar with these orchids, you will be by the end of the evening!
Join us for an evening of learning about these wonderful orchids.
