Jeremy Losaw has been growing orchids for about 15 years. He started by buying a previously bloomed Phal from the Lowe's bargain bin and reflowering it on his window sill. 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, but flowering only 2 (so far). He has two AOS cultural awards, one for a plant that died a month after it was awarded, but he is striving to get at least one more award before the decade is out. 

Jeremy 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. Fukimura Award for his photograph of Bob Fuch's Aerides lawrenciae 'Crownfox Velvet'. His favorite orchids are Cattleya rex, Paph stonei, Leptotes bicolor, and Neofinetia falcata.

Outside of orchids, he is the Engineering Director for Enventys Partners, a product development firm in Charlotte, where he helps inventors create prototypes and bring their products to market. He also writes for Inventors Digest Magazine, and does international innovation training events in countries like the Dominican Republic, Namibia, Italy and Thailand. He has two daughters (Harper and Ivy), and wife Kerry. None of them are remotely interested in orchids but do seem to like the lizards that cohabitate the greenhouse.
