The Editor's Page Welcome to the final issue of the CSA Journal for 2016. This is a special issue as it announces the 2017 CSA Congress, March 18, 2017. The President's Page (opposite) discusses the Congress in detail. Be sure to register now to get the Early Bird rate. A registration form is at the back of this issue, and downloadable from the CSA website. Online registration is also available at www.cymbidium.org. As many are aware, the cymbidium world lost two of the pillars of our community in the last year, Ernest Hetherington and Tony Velardi. Ernest has been celebrated by the CSA over the years; notably the March/April 2008 issue of the CSA Journal was devoted to honoring him. Dr. Randall Robinson will continue that celebration by talking about Ernest's "Challenge to Us All", as the dinner speaker at the Cymbidium Congress. The CSA Board recently decided to honor Tony & Gina Velardi by endowing an annual lecture at the CSA Congress in their name. The Velardi Memorial Lecture will be given each year at the Congress which will honor the many contributions Tony & Gina made to cymbidium growing, hybridizing, judging, education, and to the CSA itself. Anyone wishing to contribute to the fund in memory of Tony & Gina may do so by sending your contribution to the CSA Treasurer (see more information on page 6). It is time once again to renew your membership for 2017. We talk about membership renewals a lot in this journal, because of course, you, our members, are important to the success of the CSA. I hope that you have noticed the organization changing and improving in the last year--certainly the Board of Directors has been working hard to make that happen. Please renew your membership soon, in order to keep the 2017 issues of the journal coming your way. Better yet, go to www.cymbidium. org and renew your membership at the same time as you register for the 2017 Congress! Once again, thank you for your comments and suggestions to the editor. Special thanks to Don Brown, who suggested that I reach out to Holger Perner for the article that we are publishing here, "Propagation of Oriental Cymbidiums". It is an updated version of an article that Holger previously published in a scholarly journal. Thank you also to the AOS, and Ron McHatton, for giving us permission to republish Emma Menninger's article "Parishii Regained", and to Wm. Jeff Trimble who gives us an updated view of the state of parishii. Please keep your comments and suggestions coming, and don't forget to send in more questions for Ask the Experts! Looking forward to seeing you all at the CSA Congress in Santa Barbara! Sylvia Darr Editor CSA Journal cymbidiumsocietyjournal@gmail.com 4
The President's Page I am excited to report that our 2017 CSA Congress planning is well underway, with the CSA Board of Directors working hard on all the details. As you might remember, Lucia Brandt retired from this position last summer and it has taken an entire Board to fill her shoes. After many meetings, trips to Santa Barbara and Pasadena, a myriad of phone calls and many emails, things are getting confirmed and finalized. March 17-19 promises to be an amazing weekend as the CSA collaborates with the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show to showcase the orchid world. We will be sending out registration packets and specifics very soon so start making plans to attend right now! The 2017 CSA Congress will include a similar format to the one used in past years. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and admission to the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show will be included in your March 18th registration. Each of you will receive a packet of Congress specifics and chance to bid on one of a kind orchids and orchid related memorabilia at our annual auction. Breaking news: Carol Helen Brule is hard at work creating a ceramic something special for the big event! Start saving your pennies (OK - dollars). And now for the news you have all been waiting for. Our speakers, as of this printing, include: Randall Robinson, Geoff Bailey, Tim Culbertson and Kobsukh Kaenratana with a fifth spot to be announced. Please take a careful look at the specifics of their presentations elsewhere in this Journal. This talented line up will also be a part of a day that will honor both Tony Velardi and Ernest Hetherington, true icons in the orchid world. Please use the opportunity of attending the CSA Congress to help us and their families honor these two giants in our community. We have all worked diligently on this Congress and have listened hard to all your suggestions and ideas. We are very excited to be a part of this ground breaking day and are eager to share the expertise of our speakers. Of course, the success of a day is also dependent on YOU. Over the years, I have heard many reasons for not attending the Congress: too far to travel, not enough Cymbidium speakers, not enough Paph speakers, etc., etc. Where else can you see/ hear such a wide variety of thoughts and new ideas, honor two of our true heroes, and be surrounded by the orchid world’s leaders? Apathy is not an option here. This is YOUR CSA and YOUR CONGRESS. So no excuses — be there! Marron S Honigman President Cymbidium Society of America marron.honigman@gmail.com 5
