He will introduce us to the amazing world of Anthuriums and tell us how he developed new varieties of these plants. He will show us all types of very different varieties of these plants and tell us about their needs to stay happy, healthy and thriving. He will also talk about how plants have been used for many years to help heal our ailments and what is involved in stabilizing a species, so that it can reliably be used in medicines.
