Lin The 3 A s of the Orchid World: Angraecum, Aerangis, and Aeranthes Peter T. Lin will be presenting a talk on: The 3 A s of the Orchid World: Angraecum, Aerangis and Aeranthes. This fast paced PowerPoint presentation will showcase three of the main genera in the Angraecoid family of Orchids, as well as some of the lesser genera. Along with the species, we ll also take a look at some of the beautiful hybrids that have been made over the years. Peter started growing orchids over 35 years ago, but then stopped due to school and starting a career. It wasn't until about 14 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. He also has hundreds of photos of his orchids that he maintains on Flickr. You can view them by typing this address into the internet: Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards. His other interests in orchids include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias. He is also known as Mr. Sophronitis a he has a passion for growing and collecting them. He maintains a collection of a thousand or more orchids at his home in Southern California in three small greenhouses, as well as in the house under fluorescent lights. Peter will be providing the plants for this month's raffle table. There will be a nice selection of orchids, so be sure to buy your tickets! August 2017 South Bay Orchid Society page 1
