Welcome to Jupiter Tequesta Orchid Society
Our group meets the 2nd Wednesday each month at the Jupiter Community Center, located at 200 N. Military Trail (behind the police station). We have renowned experts as speakers at our meetings. Some of our members are AOS award winning Orchid growers. Each meeting is unique with member Orchid Show-n-Tell, Orchid Sales, Orchid Raffles, Networking, Coffee and refreshments.
Come to one of our meetings to see for yourself how much fun and how
informative our meetings are!!!
We are a non-profit organization affiliated with the American Orchid Society.
JTOS was formed in January 1997 to bring together and educate the people of the
Jupiter and Tequesta areas. Pat Dempsey ...and Tim Polovino started out at the Home Depot in Jupiter, teaching the locals how to care for and grow Orchids.
This had a quick following and has expanded each year since. We now have approx. 70 members and most of them attend our regular meeting/classes each month.

Our October speaker will be our own David Nickerson:
The subject of my JTOS talk on October 10th is Catasetum Orchids. I will address the name, geographical origin, well known Catasetum specialists, typical hybrids, history and culture along with photos (plants in wild of Costa Rica and several in my collection) of some species and hybrids. I request member feedback on the presentation as it will be my first and society members are more than qualified to critique in order to help me make it better.
