Our speaker will be Dave Sorokoswki, owner of  Paph Paradise.  He and his wife have over 20 years experience growing and breeding top quality orchids with over to 100 AOS and CSA awards. Having been a major customer of the Orchid Zone, they were able to acquire some of the finest plants in the world from them, and now  are using these exceptional orchids to produce their own new and unique breeding lines. After dabbling with hybridizing for a few years, they started setting significant numbers of seed pods in 2013/2014. These seedlings have started blooming in 2017 and they are looking forward to seeing more and more in the coming years. Dave is also an AOS accredited judge and noted orchid speaker.
