Speaker's Biography
Erhard Busse started growing orchids in 1970 and has been addicted ever since.
Since then, Erhard has taken solo orchid viewing/collecting trips —four weeks at a time— to tropical countries: Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela, Brazil, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, Borneo, Sulawesi, and Java. Attached to his house, he has a greenhouse with a few hundred plants that give his joy and pleasure every day.
Erhard has been self-employed as a specialist physician, and thus, with a reasonable boss (him), he has been given time off for his annual trekking/ orchid hunting trips. On these trips, He has learned a lot about how and where orchids grow. This October, Erhard will be 84 (He retired at 81) and now he no longer trek in mountain jungles, climb trees and sleep in a tent or with remote tribes. He travel to orchid shows all over the world and still learn a lot from talking to vendors from wherever.
