Thanh is an owner-operator of Springwater Orchids (Melbourne, FL). He is an engineer by trade (now retired) but also has been collecting and growing orchids over 45 years. His orchid business began in 2001, mainly selling on the internet but gradually moved to orchid shows later.

Thanh loves orchid species. And although he grows and sells all orchids genera, his forte has always been the genus of Paphiopedilum. He collects fine plants; grows, sells, breeds, and enjoys sharing his experiences with his customers and colleagues. His passion in paphs resulted in numerous award-winning plants and an on-going paphs breeding program using local lab work, and local growing environment. His breeding program recently extended to mini/compact plants, focusing on brassavola genera. He also continues to breed species, improving overall plants and flowers quality, broader their growing conditions to make growing orchid a joy, not aggravation!

Thanh will send a preorder list closer to the meeting.
