Orchid Society of Middle Tennessee
Next Meeting is Tuesday, June 19, 2012
7:00 pm - at Cheekwood
Speaker: Peter Lin from Diamond Orchids in California
More information TBA.
Peter Lin Bio: Peter started growing orchids over 30 years ago, but then stopped due to school and starting a career. It wasn't until about 9 years ago that the orchid "bug" came back and he is now heavily involved once again! He is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and a hybridizer of mini-catts. He enjoys meeting with other orchid enthusiasts, and can often be found at various orchid shows and societies around the country.
Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards. His other interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias. He is also known as "Mr Sophronitis" as he has a passion for growing them. He maintains a collection of a thousand or more orchids at his home in Southern California in 3 small greenhouses, outdoors, as well as indoors.
We welcome anyone interested to visit our meetings.
