Philip Seaton to Speak
Thursday, February 18  Philip Seaton, Project Manager for the Orchid Seed Stores for Sustainable Use (OSSSU), Seed Conservation Department at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, will be the speaker at the next MOS meeting.
Professor Seaton is a research biologist and, previous to working at Kew, spent 30+ years teaching at a college. During that time he became an amateur orchid grower and is interested in all things related to orchids. His biology research degree and interest in orchids lead into work on orchid seed storage, hence his present employment as Project Manager for Orchid Seed Stores for Sustainable Use, a Darwin Initiative project aimed at setting up a global network of orchid seed banks.
Phil is a previous editor of the Orchid Review (the world's oldest orchid journal still in print) and has written probably 100 or more scientific and popular papers. He wrote the practical guide Growing Orchids from Seed with Margaret Ramsay a few years ago, and has just written Growing Windowsill Orchids which is due to be published this month. He is currently writing a book about hardy orchids with a number of co-authors.
"Over the last few years I have been very fortunate in being able to travel the world looking at orchids ... so my talk will include bits about Madagascar, South Africa, China, Thailand, Cuba, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil and Colombia ... I'm looking forward to hearing it! Seriously, I do enjoy giving talks and sharing my good fortune with my audience. I'm a lucky lad, and have spoken about orchid conservation around the world," Phil Says.
