Speakers

 

At Plantation Orchid Society, we strive to bring you the best talent each month.  Each speaker brings a different skill and topic whether you're a beginner or an experienced hobbyist.

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 at 7p.m.
our guest speaker will be Jeanne Thompson,
presenting “Orchid Care and Beyond” 

Jeanne Thompson grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, and graduated with a BA in Fine Arts from Northwestern State University.

In 1996 she bought her first four orchids at an orchid show in Shreveport. She still has one of those first four orchids, proving how durable they are. She was a volunteer at the Dallas Judging Center in the early 2000’s serving as the orchid awards photographer. 

Jeanne now works at Odom’s Orchids in Ft. Pierce and in her own time takes care of her orchid collection. Jeanne also creates ceramic pots specifically designed for orchids.

Odom’s Orchids have been in its present location in Ft. Pierce for over 40 years. With over 90,000 square feet of greenhouses, Odom’s Orchids is one of the largest retail growers and shippers of orchids in the United States. They specialize in Cattleya orchids, but also grow many species from other varieties, including Vandas, Phalaenopsis, Lady Slippers, Oncidiums, and many species from different genera. Unlike many other orchid growers, most of their orchids are mature, blooming size plants, so you don’t have to wait years for them to bloom.

Odom’s Orchids is located in Ft. Pierce, on Florida’s southeast. We are just one mile off of Interstate 95, two miles from the Turnpike. We are open to the public during the week, so stop by and see us if you are in the area.
