We are honored to have Dr. Holger Perner speak on Pleiones. Pleiones are a small group of miniature orchids native to southeast Asia. Dr. Perner‘s long career with orchids began prior to 1992. He is the senior advisor for the management of the Huanglong National Park and the technical director of Hengduan Mts. Biotechnology, Ltd. both in Sichuan, China. His conservation work includes breeding rare orchids to increase their numbers outside of their endangered habitats.
