|
Like many of us, Pierre started growing orchids given to him by
friends and neighbors, then became intrigued by the plants and
was hooked for good four years ago. Since then his
collection has grown rapidly to about a thousand plants today,
many of which are Cymbidiums. The 25 % non-Cymbidium
genera in Pierre's collection are expanding and comprising many
genera, mostly cool to intermediate growing.
A graduate of the National Agronomical Institute in Paris, Pierre tries to use his education to understand the cultural requirements of orchids and apply it experimentally to his collection. Over the last three years his efforts were rewarded by several AOS and CSA quality and cultural awards, although, he admits, that he is still on the learning curve. |

With (French) humor, simple explanations and a lot of pictures, Pierre will share how his personal experiences and understanding of basic scientific principles helped him improve his orchid growing skills. Pierre is a member of several orchid societies in the San Francisco Bay Area. |
