Jeremy Losaw

Biography
Jeremy Losaw has been growing orchids for almost 20 years. He started by buying a previously bloomed Phal from the Lowe's bargain bin and reflowering it on his windowsill. He now grows in a 13' x 20' greenhouse that has internet-connected automation and too many plants. He is an amateur hybridizer, making over 100 crosses. He has two AOS cultural awards, and 2 AOS quality awards. He is a photographer for Carolina's Judging Center, and his photos have featured in Orchids magazine and Orchid Digest. He is the winner of the 2020 Roy T. Fukumura Award for his photograph of Bob Fuch's Aerides lawrenciae 'Crownfox Velvet'.
His favorite orchids are Cattleya rex, Paph. stonei, Leptotes bicolor, and Neofinetia (vanda) falcata. Outside of orchids, he is the Super Fab Lab Specialist where he runs a maker space to help students build their new innovations and to help with their research. He holds 12 patents for a variety of consumer product innovations and does international innovation training events in countries like the Dominican Republic, Namibia, Italy, Grenada, and Thailand. He has two daughters and wife Kerry. None of them are remotely interested in orchids but do seem to like the lizards that cohabitate in the greenhouse.
