October 2012 President’s Message
Dear POS Members and Friends,It's hard to believe that we are entering into fall, and that the holidays are around the corner. Just yesterday it was 100 degrees in some parts of San Diego county, but we've now cooled off in many places. Cymbidiums begin to need some attention going into the end of year and beginning of next year in the peak of their blooming season. The POS also requires some attention as this time coincides with planning for holiday parties and the election of officers and board members.Before I talk about this though, I want to thank Debra… [Continue Reading]

Note from the President about the Virtual Show and Tell…
Hi POS Members,Since there are a lot of items for the virtual show and tell, we will take submissions until the 25th of each month, on which day they will be posted once for that month. Because of the quirky nature of Flickr, each addition requires a redo of the whole set. This saves my fingers from having to post and change the show and tell many times during the course of each month. Pics after that will be rolled to the next month's show and tell. Thanks for your help! Gil Ho
The New POS Virtual Show-N-Tell for July 2012
Welcome to the new POS Virtual Online Show-n-Tell. I have been wanting for some time to setup a virtual place to show off POS member plants in bloom or with something interesting to display, that for one reason or another, couldn't get to the regular meeting show-n-tell session for all to see. From now on, Members, if you have a plant you want to show everyone, just send me the photo (giho@ucsd.edu), and I will put it up. Not every month will have a virtual show-n-tell, but if there are pictures, then they will be posted up. Please also send… [Continue Reading]
