Larry Desiano has grown a wide variety of orchids for over 40 years, and has received several AOS awards here in NJ. He was involved with Deep Cut Orchids in its early days, and has been a very active DCOS member for 25 years, holding many positions including President. 

In 2016 he and his wife decided to move to Florida, but after 8 years of being very active with Sarasota OS, he and his wife decided to come back up north, and now lives in the inner city of Baltimore, where they ponder why they moved to Florida. 

From having grown orchids for many years in different environments, Larry is going to talk about what he likes most, himself, and the things he has learned growing orchids in very diverse conditions. The benefits and challenges of growing in the suburbs of the Northeast, to the intense environment of Florida, to now growing orchids in a 4 story row home in a city with no yard. This could be interesting and educational.
