Tonight's Program:
Bert Pressman

Bert Pressman

Have you ever wondered why you've never seen a hybrid of any of these?
A Cattleya crossed with a Phalaenopsis
A Cattleya crossed with a Vanda
A Vanda crossed with a Dendrobium
A Dendrobium crossed with a Phalaenopsis


Well, if you want to know the answers and MORE.....
don't miss the meeting on October 23, when Bert Pressman will do a presentation on the reasons some orchids can and cannot be crossed with other orchids.

Bert has been a South Florida resident since 1969. In 1998 he retired after a career in academia. He confesses that he was a student in a class taught by Ruben Sauleda in 1974 and he's been addicted to orchids ever since! Currently, Bert devotes his time to raising orchids; his preference being the less common, warm growing species, especially Catasetinae. Bert currently grows about 2000 plants outdoors on shaded tables. He is active in most orchid clubs in South Miami Dade County; and in the last few years Bert organized the Educational Program at the Miami International Orchid Show.

See you there!
