His first talk was about his first trip to Burma, and this month he describes his second trip to Burma. Winn is a member of the Newport Orchid Society, and he and his wife, Chitsaya, are members of the NHOS Board of Directors. Winn was born in Shan State, eastern Burma, where Cymbidium lowianum, Vanda coerulea and Paphiopedilum charlesworthii are found abundantly in the wild. The first orchid that Winn collected from the forest floor was a dendrobium species. He was 7 years old. With this he began taking care of orchids in his family s garden. As an undergraduate studying physics at the University of Rangoon, Winn was a member of the Department of Botany s orchid society. Later he lived in Japan for four years for further study and training. In 1988, he moved to the United States and settled in Orange County. Eventually he began collecting and growing orchids here. Today he has a large orchid collection, many of which are vandaceous orchids. He grows his plants in a shade house and greenhouse. Recently Winn has made several trips back to Burma and has explored orchids in nature. He shares his orchid experiences by giving presentations to orchid societies.

2 President's Message I hope everyone had a pleasant July 4th celebration. Pat and I took the Blue line from Long Beach up to the Grand Park July 4th celebration in LA the people watching was highlight of the evening. Hopefully everyone survived the heat that came two days later. It was 112 degrees in my patio on Friday. I was on major misting duty that afternoon and the next couple days to save my orchids and garden plants. I lost only one cucumber plant, some of Pat's hydrangea flowers and roses were burnt to a crisp but the plants survived. I am still looking for a member who has technical computer experience to help us transfer and maintain our website so we do not lose our website and we can continue to provide and advertise SCOS activity information to our members and the internet. The primary function of the website is to publish our monthly newsletter / meeting notice. Please let me know if you can help the society with this important task. Call me at or me at jpreyes69@gmail.com.
