The Orchid Lovers of Trinidad and Tobago was established in
2015 by a
group of local orchid enthusiasts with the common goal of creating an
organization that is fun, friendly, community minded and welcoming to
all.
MISSION STATEMENT: To advance and increase an awareness of orchid
conservation, education and camaraderie to its members and the public,
through shows, lectures and collaborative programmes and projects.

2. Orchid-gami

The United States Botanic
Garden is working with the North American
Orchid Conservation Center (NAOCC) to develop punch-out models of our
native orchids for use in a variety of educational activities. The
models are colorful and fun and designed to capture the imaginations of
kids of all ages. They also provide information about the conservation
status and ecology of the orchid and link to the NAOCC and Go Orchids
web sites. We are developing 25 of these punch-out models that
represent orchids from across North America and plan on releasing them
in 2016.
We are excited to share this prototype of our first model, the Showy
Lady’s Slipper (
Cypripedium
reginae). This model is a full-color,
two-sided pdf file that can be downloaded here and printed at home.
Give orchid-gami a try and let us know what you think. Email
NAOCC@si.edu
us your
comments and suggestions, and let us know if you have a favorite orchid
to include in this project.
