IOS Member's Meeting: March 2026 - Talk by Malcolm Moodie on The Orchids of Thailand
2026-03-02 19:00 - 20:30 | https://www.irishorchidsociety.org/ios-event/ios-members-meeting-march-2026/
A virtual/online only meeting this month.
We will have a talk from Malcolm Moodie, from the Solihull Orchid Society on The Orchids of Thailand

A little bio on Malcolm:
I have been growing orchids for more than 35 years and have a climatically controlled greenhouse with about 300 orchids.
The greenhouse has two growing areas. The Intermediate area contains mainly Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums whilst the cool area has mainly Masdevallias with some Oncidium family.
I am President of the Solihull & District Orchid Society and in the past served as their Chairman and Show Secretary.
I am also a member of the British Paphiopedilum Society and the Orchid Society of Great Britain.
In addition, I am a core member of the RHS Orchid Expert Group (Orchid Committee).
I have travelled extensively searching for orchids in the wild travelling to Thailand, the Malaysian peninsular, Singapore multiple times, Borneo twice visiting both Sarawak and Sabah all in South East Asia and also Peru and Ecuador in South America.
The talks I give relate those journeys. In addition, I give talks to Gardening Clubs on Growing Orchids in the Home as a way of demystifying the misconceptions that many people have of orchids being difficult.
In the past I to used run a business supplying fertilisers and other sundry items to orchid growers and was the European distributor of DynaGro fertilisers among other products and use that background for a further talk on Feeding Orchids - Feast or Famine.

If we have time we'll discuss:
