“Trichocentrum: What they are & how to grow them!”
Dear SFOS members!
Olivier Turina
For March, we’re thrilled to welcome Olivier Turina as our guest speaker!
Olivier comes to us from Brussels, Belgium, and now calls Ft. Lauderdale home. He is a passionate hobbyist who loves working with species and primary hybrids across many genera. Fun fact: his plants have snagged eight awards from the American Orchid Society! He has been an active Board member since 2020 and has been sharing his knowledge as a newsletter contributor since 2018 with the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Society. If you’re looking for some great growing tips, be sure to check out his YouTube channel, “Orchid House, Fort Lauderdale, Florida,” where he shares insights and tricks—with over 500,000 views and 5,000 subscribers, it’s a treasure trove for orchid lovers! Plus, Olivier is quite the linguist, speaking 7 languages and holding a Bachelor’s in Finance and Economics!
Olivier’s lecture is entitled, “Trichocentrum: what they are and how to grow them”
Looking forward to an amazing spring season together! Happy growing!
