Growing and Dividing Cymbidiums with Weegie Caughlan Class #2

Date:

Saturday, April 13 ~ 9:30 to 11:30 a.m.

Fee:

$25 members / $35 non-members

Carriage House and Garden

Cymbidiums are one of the most popular and desirable orchids in the world because of their beautiful, long lasting flowers in an incredible range of colors – and they grow outdoors in the Bay Area. Weegie will tell us all we need to know about growing these beauties – temperature, sunlight, growing medium, watering, nutrition, and pest control. There will be a drawing at the end of the class and one lucky attendee will win a prize cymbidium grown by Weegie.

For those with an eye on the cymbidium world, Weegie Caughlan needs no introduction. She is known not only in California and the U.S. but worldwide as one of the best amateur growers and exhibitors of the Cymbidium genus of our time. She has won many local Best in Show awards as well as her fifth Grand Champion award last year and Reserve Champion this year at the prestigious Santa Barbara International Orchid Show. In 2000, she retired the Elm Estate Trophy given at POE in San Francisco after winning it for 10 consecutive years. In addition, winning almost 100 AOS and CSA awards over the years, eight this year alone and some of them on her own crosses, shows that Weegie not only exhibits a keen eye for quality but is truly a grower “par excellence”. Her success in designing award winning orchid displays is also well documented

The iPhone keeps photography simple so we can focus on "seeing." But don't let its simplicity fool you;
you can take the best photographs of your life with your iPhone.

During this two hour class you will learn...

1) How to best use the tools in your iPhone Camera.
2) About two "must have" camera apps.
3) About three photo editing apps.

We then will photograph in the gardens where I will walk around, and be available to help students.
The class will end with a Question and Answer period and a discussion about how to share your photographs online.

Cynthia Louden has been a professional photographer for over 30 years. In the past she has worked in studios and photographed weddings and kids. She has been a freelance photographer for the past 20 years, licensing her work for greeting cards, calendars, book covers, commercial illustrations, posters, and advertising. For the last several years all of her old, expensive film and digital cameras have sat on a shelf gathering dust. Like many professional photographers, she now photographs almost solely with her iPhone.
