The CENTRAL IOWA ORCHID SOCIETY

           Presents the

After receiving his degree in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto, Dave opted to step outside his chosen field and operated a tropical fish import business for eight years. Upon returning to school Dave received a degree in Enology and Viticulture from Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. While attending Brock Dave began acquiring orchids one 2” pot at a time and before he graduated, Dave had over 100 orchids. Winemaking and a passion for orchids prompted Dave to seek a warmer climate in California about one year later. Dave has been growing paphiopedilums for about 15 years and seriously hybridizing for the past 10 years. He is an accredited AOS judge and his paphiopedilums have received close to 100 awards to date from the AOS and CSA. Many of those awarded plants playing important roles in his breeding program.

Dave's topics will be “Novelty Paphs” and "Multifloral Paphs".

AOS Judging will be held at 11:00 A.M.
Everyone is invited to bring or send plants for judging!
Plants must be in place by 10:00 A.M.
