- **Event Name**: John McCoy:  "Cymbidiums Love Long Beach!"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Mon, 23 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: After the demise of the Cymbidium Society of America in 2019, and even for some years before that, we couldn't find a program for SCOS about growing "traditional" Cymbidiums.  We had a great time with Jack Zhu's programs about "Asian" Cymbidiums, though, which are very different.  After fielding many questions about finding and growing "normal" Cymbidiums, we finally decided to develop our own program!  Cymbidiums have been grown outdoors in Southern California for well over a century.  They are almost a perfect fit for the Long Beach climate, provided they have a little protection on the hottest days of summer.  Otherwise, they are easy to grow.  Spring bloomers, they come in many colors and sizes.  Flowers, up to 5” across, last for several weeks.  They deserve a place in our gardens!  We will cover description of the major types, history, culture, and sources.  Orchids grown by members and guests will be on display.  As always, the event is free and open to the public.
