Getting Your Orchids to Bloom

Brassavola cucullataGetting Your Orchids to Bloom Again

Vallarta Orchid Society Lecture Series

October 27, 2 pm, at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens

Did you purchase an orchid two, three or more years ago when it was in bloom? Has that plant continued to bloom? If not, then this talk is just what you need.

There are about a dozen different reasons why an orchid plant will not bloom year after year. On Saturday, October 27th at 2 PM, these reasons will be discussed at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens. The discussion will be conducted by T. J. Hartung of the Vallarta Orchid Society, and is free of charge. There is a small entrance fee to the gardens for non-members (60 pesos).

If you have an orchid that hasn’t bloomed is several years, you are invited to bring it with you. Learn how to care for your orchids, and enjoy the botanical gardens at the same time.

The Vallarta Botanical Gardens has a large collection of orchids and other plants from the area. They have many orchids for sale, as well as potting materials and a variety of pots. Also, you’ll find a restaurant, a swimming hole in the river, shade houses where young plants get their start and a number of trails through the jungle areas. The gardens will conduct a walking tour starting at 1 PM, with a knowledgeable guide to answer your questions. For more information on the Botanical Gardens, visit their web site at www.vbgardens.org

The gardens are located 24 Km south of town, just 3 Km past Chico’s Paradise. The bus to El Tuito will stop at the entrance to the Gardens, and will return you to town.

Vallarta Orchid Society Lecture Series

Four Seasons of Orchid Growth
Vallarta Orchid Society Lecture Series Continues

Here in Puerto Vallarta, people say we only have 2 seasons, rain and dust. Orchids, and most plants, have four different growing seasons. Knowing what these seasons are, and how to care for your plants during each of these seasons, will be the subject of a talk delivered at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens on Saturday, January 29, starting at 1 pm. There is no charge to attend this talk, but the Botanical Gardens requests 50 pesos for entrance to the grounds.

Based on his article in the January, 2011 edition of Orchids, the official publication of the American Orchid Society, T. J. Hartung will discuss everything from the best times to water and fertilize to your orchids, to the best times to repot them. Knowing and responding to the proper time to do these tasks will keep your orchids healthy, happy, and continue to provide you with those beautiful flowers that brighten up your home.

The Vallarta Botanical Gardens has a large collection of orchids and other plants from the area. Also, you’ll find a restaurant, a swimming hole in the river, shade houses where young plants get their start, and a number of trails through the jungle areas. For more information on the Botanical Gardens, visit their web site at www.vallartabotanicalgardensac.org

The gardens are located 24 Km south of town, just 3 Km past Chico’s Paradise. The bus to El Tuito will stop at the entrance to the Gardens, and will return you to town.

Vallarta Pit Bull Club Show

Pit bull show vallarta

Será el Próximo Domingo 23, en Unidad Deportiva “La Lija”…

Por Ricardo Barragán Ibarra

Con la finalidad de combatir la mala imagen que se les ha dado, el Club Vallarta de Pitbull el próximo domingo 23 de los corrientes en punto de las dos y media de la tarde en la Unidad Deportiva de La Lija, estará dando inicio a su Quinto Evento en el cual los perros de esa raza estarán realizando algunas demostraciones.

Debido a la irresponsabilidad de algunas personas que se dedican a realizar combates clandestinos de perros de esa raza y para lo cual entrenan a los animales, eso ha generado que mucha gente les tenga temor.

Esa es la razón principal que ha llevado a Roy Palacios, Víctor Martínez y Jorge López, responsables de ese club a la realización de un evento en el cual los animales muestran su destreza y nobleza, dando fe de que los pitbull son perros atléticos, con un excelente temperamento, dóciles y protectores.

“En nombre de PITBULL VALLARTA CLUB le hacemos una cordial invitación a la ciudadanía para que asista a nuestro Quinto Evento que se llevará a cabo en la cancha la Lija del Coapinole, el día 23 de Enero del 2011, en punto de las 2:30 de la tarde daremos inicio el evento”.

“PITBULL VALLARTA es un club que inició el 25 de Julio del 2010 dedicado a limpiar la imagen de esta raza, queremos ayudar, proteger y cuidar a estos animales, es por eso que hemos decidido reunirnos cada semana con el fin de realizar actividades recreativas que permitan demostrar el carácter noble de dicha raza, así como la manera en que es encauzada el talento de estos animales, tales como actividades de arrastre, jalar entre muchas otras”.

“De igual manera, ayudamos a aquellas personas que necesitan de otros, nos proponemos objetivos para estar en contacto con nuestro entorno, nuestro prójimo y todo aquello a lo que podamos contribuir, nosotros NO APOYAMOS organizaciones o algún tipo de delincuencia. Podemos decir con orgullo, que hemos organizado actividades deportivas con el fin de reunir recursos para el ayudar al tratamiento de quimioterapia hacia un colega y pretendemos seguir ayudando a nuestros semejantes. Hemos también cooperado para rescatar PITBULLS que se encuentran en condiciones deplorables y buscar una familia que adopte y les brinde una vida mejor”.

“Nuestro fin NO ES PELEAR PERROS, podemos demostrar con hechos y pruebas que lo que hacemos es totalmente entrenamientos deportivos para los perros, para que en un futuro se lleven pitbulls vallartenses a competencias nacionales, ya que somos socios de la FEDERACION MEXICANA DE AMERICAN PITBULL TERRIER , para el crecimiento de este club y de esta manera continuar ayudando”.
“Nosotros nos sostenemos de donaciones y aportaciones voluntarias, en ningún momento se pretende lo contrario, ya que creemos que nuestra comunidad necesita de la unión de todos nosotros”.

“Por esta razón hemos realizado eventos en donde se demuestre todo el trabajo de quienes conformamos el club, invitando a la gente a participar llevando a sus perros a formar parte en estas actividades adecuadas para esta raza, ofreciéndole a la gente la oportunidad de convivir y compartir esta experiencia”.

“Nuestra misión es dar a conocer que los pitbull no son como los pinta, un pitbull en manos de un dueño responsable, es una mascota fiel y cariñosa que convive con la familia”.

“Pretendemos inculcarle a la sociedad que un pitbull antes que ser un pitbull, es un perro, y que sea visto de la misma manera que ven a las otras razas. salvaguardaremos esta noble raza siempre”, así lo informaron los organizadores.

Para las personas que quieran obtener una mejor información sobre ese club, pueden llamar al teléfono celular 044 322 132 62 00 o bien, acudir a la finca marcada con el número 669 de la calle Mar del Sur en la colonia Palmar de Aramara.
