Terrestrials
Ray Lemieux is a Sarasota horticulturalist who lived
in Sarasota, grew interested in cryptanthus, met
Linda Cathart at Tropiflora and found himself
“hooked.” The hobby grew into profession. He has worked at Tropiflora for years. Jim Irvin presented 
Ray Lemieuz with
Orthophytum lemei. Hope he 
brings some
terrestrials for our meeting along 
with the show.
