Our speaker will be Gene Crocker, who has more experience in the
field of
orchid hybridization than most orchid growers alive today. He
was Vice
President of Carter and Holmes for 20 years. Gene retired last
year, but his
50-year passion for orchids, and cattleyas in particular, is
unabated.
Whether speaking about cattleya breeding or his experiences and
travels in
the world of orchids, Gene's talks are always a pleasure to
hear.
topic of Gene's talk will be "Cattleyas for the New
Millennium"
