Olivas: All you wanted to Know About Transplanting
Dennis
Olivas - The Untold Story
The Diablo
View Orchid Society Newsletter was able to gain access to
secret government files about this month’s speaker. For the
first time, utilizing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
the truth about Dennis Olivas can now be revealed!
Your intrepid
reporter has discovered that Dennis Olivas was born on Kauai,
Hawaii, once belonged to that hotbed of radical thought –
the Future Farmers of America! Indeed it was through his
association with that covert organization that his orchid
addiction started. He wrested himself from the cult and at the
age of 28 swore never to touch the evil weed again! It’s
unclear how long he was clean but we know one thing for sure:
Fellow travelers from the cell at Rod McLeallan’s Acres of
Orchids’ enticed him back into the addiction.
From there
his whole life became one downward spiral. First he fills his
home with upwards of 6,000 plants. Later he leased a
greenhouse space for his ever burgeoning orchid collection.
This man is more than just a hardened hobbyist. Dissemination
of orchids and their like has become his career. His known
distribution point is located in Half Moon Bay. He has been
traced to every orchid society in the Greater Bay Area. And
the most devastating revelation of all: he has been awarded
many of those society’s highest positions and honors. He
wears his hair in a ponytail. Need we say more?
As a public
service, the Diablo Orchid Society offers its members a chance
to see and meet this known purveyor of orchids. But
BEWARE!!!!!!! He’s a silver-tongued devil! You too may
become addicted!!!!!!!!
