May 5, 2025 Meeting – “Don’t Fear the Slippers – A Guide to Successful Paph Culture” with Dave Sorokowsky

W e will be welcoming to our May meeting Dave Sorokowsky, proprietor of Paph Paradise in California, as he presents “Don’t Fear the Slippers – A Guide to Successful Paph Culture”.

Dave and his wife Stacey have 20 years experience growing and breeding top quality orchids with close to 100 AOS and CSA awards. Having been a major customer of the storied Orchid Zone nursery, they were able to acquire some of the finest plants in the world from them, and now they are using these exceptional orchids to produce their own new and unique breeding lines. Dave is also an AOS accredited orchid judge.

Dave will make pre-ordering available with special discounts for our members. Details are still being worked out – so watch your email.

Since Dave will be bringing plants to sell at the meeting, members may not bring in their own plants to sell or trade.

If you have orchids in bloom be sure to bring them to the meeting for our typically outstanding Show Table!
