My dad is a hobbiest...serious one who has been growing orchids for about
40years. He has produced his own crosses and have over twenty+ registered
(I don't understand all these things). I know he named an orchird after
me and all members of our family. He specializes in vandas, catleyas, and
?. He gets together with some people and imports plants from Thailand, etc.
