A tremendous number of discoveries<br />
of new paph species, creations of entire<br />
lines of new paph hybrids, and fantastic<br />
examples and forms of hybrids and<br />
species we know so well have been<br />
made in the last three years or so. Tim<br />
will share with us some of the highlights<br />
of these in a whirlwind tour of new<br />
species, new forms, and advances in<br />
multifloral, complex, Parvisepalum,<br />
and Brachypetalum groups.<br />

Kobsukh Kaenratana has a keen<br />
interest in heat tolerant cymbidiums.<br />
He studied what makes cymbidiums<br />
grow and bloom in the tropical climates,<br />
and started that design 17 yrs ago.<br />
Since then he has utilized cymbidium<br />
gene pools from S.E. Asia, combining<br />
them with advanced hybrids from the<br />
US, Australia, and the Netherlands.<br />
He is also a pioneer in developing<br />
and advancing the intergeneric<br />
Grammatocymbidium. With these<br />
special genetics, one can expect several<br />
unique characteristics in his hybrids.<br />
