Peter T. Lin with: 12 Months of Orchid

About Peter

I am an avid orchid hobbyist, hybridizer, and AOS judge and owner of Diamond Orchids https://www.diamondorchids.com/ in Southern California.   I grow primarily mini-catts, Mini Vandas, Dendrobiums and miniature species.  I frequently give talks at various orchid societies and have written articles for the Orchid Digest and ORCHIDS magazine. 

Peter will be bringing an assortment of plants to sell and for our Opportunity Table!

Below is a brief biography:

Peter started growing orchids over 40 years ago, but then stopped due to school and starting a career.  It wasn't until about 20 years ago that the orchid "bug" came back and he is now heavily involved once again!  He is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and a hybridizer of mini-catts.  He enjoys meeting with other orchid enthusiasts, and can often be found at various orchid shows and societies around the country.

Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards.  His interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias.  He is also known as "Mr Sophronitis" as he has a passion for growing and collecting them.  He maintains a collection of a several thousand orchids at his home in Southern California in 3 small greenhouses, outdoors, as well as an offsite greenhouse.

12 Months of Orchids
This fast paced PowerPoint  presentation discusses how to build an orchid collection to have blooms for every month of the year.  There are many orchids that bloom at different times of the year, so instead of concentrating on one season, now you can have a collection of orchids in bloom for each month of the year!
