Triad Orchid Society August Meeting: Bill Thoms - Bulbophyllums
Advertisement
Our guest speaker this month is the world-renowned grower Bill Thoms. Join us for an extraordinary afternoon as we explore the fascinating and diverse world of Bulbophyllum orchids. Bill describes this talk as "the WAFL-HSE program of general orchid culture with the emphasis on bulbophyllums, the largest genus in the orchid family".
Bill Thoms has grown and shown orchids for more than 45 years in the central Florida area. He now resides near Greenville, SC. He has more awards for Culture in Bulbophyllums than anyone else in the world (51 so far) – and he and Doris Dukes together have 105 Cultural Awards in 30 different genera. The American Orchid Society has added a new Annual Award for the Bulbophyllums, the Bill Thoms Award.
Bill gives talks all over the world. They all are presented in a funny style that helps growers understand how the plants work and they all revolve around the culture of Orchids. He helps beginner growers fix problems and has a wealth of accumulated information for more advanced growers, too!
He has a book, Bulbophyllums; the Incomplete Guide, From A to WHY?, which you may purchase from him. His web site (Bulbophyllums.com) has his book, special food and super eBook, which is more than 5 years' worth of videos of their plants, all his articles, fabulous photos and lots more.

Whether you are looking to fix a problem with a single windowsill plant or want to refine the parameters of a large collection, this session is packed with practical, timely advice. Bill’s famously humorous and highly informative presentation style will break down exactly how these unique orchids work and how you can get them to grow and bloom better. Come join us!
Whether you are a seasoned grower with AOS-awarded plants or a curious hobbyist just starting your first collection, there is a place for you here! The Triad Orchid Society has been a hub for orchid study and cultivation in North Carolina since 1987, and we’d love to have you join our community.
