Peter Kouchalakos
Ah summer in the sub-tropics! What’s not to love? Blue Gray skies, pleasant oppressive temperatures, and beautiful horrible weather. Yep, it’s that time again. Hurricane season is here! Or, as channel seven would say, “TERROR FROM THE SKIES!!!!”
So, how do we cope? Never mind that roof! I’m talking orchids! How do we prepare and protect our precious babies from those oh so nasty elements?
Fortunately, we don’t have to go it alone. At least not completely. Our good friend, Peter Kouchalakos, is here to share some tips and insight that may well help save our plants… not to mention, our sanity!
Peter Kouchalakos, along with his wife Clara, are the owners of PCK Orchids and Exotic Plants. Peter is a law school graduate who found his true calling in growing and teaching others to successfully grow orchids and other exotic plants.
Peter Kouchalakos likes to call himself the Johnny Appleseed of orchids. As he told a Miami Herold reporter, “I just want to spread the joy. I’m lucky to get to do what I love and get paid for it.”
We should all be so lucky!
Peter will also be providing plants for our raffle table as well as having plants for sale.
We will also be once again doing our popular silent auction. (Cash & checks only please!)
So bring lots of money!
