Fred Clarke Talking About Catasetums |
||||||
|
|
Fred Clarke has been growing orchids for 30
years and has been hybridizing for 22 of those years. With over 24
years as a professional grower and manager in the horticultural
industry, Fred applies these skills at his orchid nursery; Sunset
Valley Orchids, located in San Diego, California. He is a
passionate orchid grower whose curiosity in orchids is broad and
varied. Although developing Cattleya hybrids has been his
sustaining interest, he is also actively creating new Bulbophylum
and Paphiopedilum hybrids plus some others to be named if they
work out! His pioneering work in Catasetum intergeneric hybrids
led to the development of several notable hybrids, most recently
the grex, Fredclarkeara After Dark, which produced “the blackest
flower ever witnessed”. This grex has received five FCC’s and
three AM’s on the first flowers shown for judging! Fred is an
Accredited Judge in the Pacific South Judging Region. His plants
have received hundreds of quality awards from the American Orchid
Society.
