Weyman eats, sleeps, and breathes ORCHIDS!  Starting at the age of  12 and continuing to date, orchids have been his hobby, profession and passion.  From the time he graduated from college in 1976, he has been located in the American tropics, where he claims he can at least be close to the orchids in the wild, and he doesn’t have to worry about them freezing.  He earned his B.S. degree in Ornamental Horticulture and Botany at the University of Florida.

Weyman will discuss Mexican orchids. His website is http://www.abundaflora.com where you can find an abundance of information!
