Thanh Nguyen of Springwater Orchids
Thanh is an owner-operator of Springwater Orchids in Melbourne, Florida. Thanh is an engineer by trade, and has been collecting and growing orchids for over 30 years. He began his orchid business in 2001 first selling on the Internet and more recently has expanded to orchid shows. Although Than grows and sells all orchid genera, his forte has always been Paphiopedilums. He is particularly enamored of species plants. His passion for Paphiopedilums has resulted in numerous award winning plants and an ongoing Paphiopedilum breeding program using local lab work and a local growing environment. His goals are to bring the excellence of a Paphiopedilum breeding program back to America , and augment the enthusiasm of Paphiopedilums growing by way of sharing his growing experience and educational programs via shows and society speeches. Thanh's program will provide you with all the information that you will need to make growing Paphiopedilums a joyful experience. Join us for a truly enjoyable talk.
