The Orchid Keeper

Wayne Turville has an obsession with collecting things, and he put his passion and skills for rare orchids and his background in horticulture to use to establish a thriving orchid business that sends rare and valuable flowers to all corners of the globe.

Realising that there was a substantial income to be made in his hobby, Wayne recently opened an on-site laboratory which allows him create more rare plants himself.
