View Full Version : So enlighten me, who is Nick Tannaci? Bob in Albany, N.Y. July 18th, 2005, 10:34 PM A few months ago while visiting Marriott Orchids he mentioned that one of the best brachy breeders was Nick Tannaci. I believe he said he was from the west coast. So who is he and how can I reach him? I'd love to get him on this forum to teach us a thing or two. Thanks ! couscous74 July 19th, 2005, 03:44 AM Sounds a bit like Dr. Toshinori Tanaka from Japan. :unsure: Perhaps "Nick" is his nickname (no pun intended). Dr. Tanaka has Hadley Cash listed as one of his orchid friends. You might recognize a few folks from this forum there on his list of orchid friends. Maybe one or two of them could email Dr. Tanaka? :poke: Uri? Olaf? :poke: This is his website http://www.orchid.or.jp/orchid/people/tanaka/indexe.html Ernie July 19th, 2005, 04:13 AM From a bit of research, Nick appears to be a well seasoned Paph grower and breeder and was one of the speakers at the recent 2005 Orchid Digest Speakers’ Day ‘Slipper Orchid Extravaganza’ in California. He's registered numerous Paph crosses in affiliation with Orchid Zone.

TADD July 19th, 2005, 06:47 AM Nick Tannaci is a Brachy hybridizer from CA, His stuffis available form time to time at Woodstream and Marriott Orchids. You may want to contact one of these growers to get his email or phone number. His plants seem very nice and gienormous! Olaf July 19th, 2005, 06:52 AM Ernie and Tadd are correct. Visit Nick Tanacci at the Orchid Zone Best greetings Olaf The nickname of Toshinori Tanaka is Toshi. couscous74 July 19th, 2005, 08:12 AM You know, on second thought, Bob. I am starting to suspect that maybe they are two different guys... :embarass: |
