Peter T. Lin Bio

Peter T. Lin started growing orchids over 40 years ago, but then stopped due to school and starting a career. Then 25 years ago, that the orchid "bug" came back!  Peter is an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society and a hybridizer of mini Cattleyas.  He enjoys meeting with other orchid enthusiasts, and can often be found at various orchid shows and societies around the country.

Due to limited growing space, Peter likes to specialize in miniature orchids, both species and hybrids, and has received numerous AOS awards.  His interests include Dendrobiums, Angraecoids, and Neofinetias.  Peter is also known as "Mr Sophronitis" as he has a passion for growing and collecting them.  He maintains a collection of a several thousand orchids at his home in Southern California in three small greenhouses, outdoors, as well as in an offsite greenhouse.
