Speaker is Jack Zhu

Jack Zhu is an orchid hobbyist from the Los Angeles area in California. He grows many varieties of orchids, focusing on Asian cymbidiums. Jack is also very interested in the culture and history of Asia cymbidium. Jack is currently an Associate Judge in AOS Pacific South Judging Region and has more than thirty AOS awards for Asia cymbidium.

Title: The Colors and Forms of Asian Cymbidium
With more than one thousand years of cultivation history, the Asian cymbidium community has developed some unique appreciation criteria for Asian cymbidium, including several major flower forms and various colors.
During the talk, Jack will go over the main flower form and color of various Asian cymbidiums. Within each category, he will present multiple examples, especially with plants from his own backyard. In the end, Jack will briefly go over the leaf variegations of Asian cymbidium, which is another important aspect of Asian cymbidium.
