Harry Ronken

The only mention of him I could find on the AOS site was a thank-you in
a Lindleyana article from 1989, but from the article content I found
references elsewhere that place him in Evandale, Tasmania. It appears he
works with a friend, Barry Davidson, on his terrestrial orchid breeding,
and that both are active in rhododendron breeding too.

According to OrchidWIz he registered two Pleione hybrids as recently as
2017. Sorry, that's all I found.

Does anyone on PBS know a Harry Ronken? I have no details other than the
fact that among other things he bred several new hybrids of Pleione
orchids. I would like permission to use his photos of some of these on
my website (http://www.pleione.info/ <http://www.pleione.info/>) and I do not
know how to contact him. However I am also uncertain if Harry is still
with us or whether he has sadly passed? Does anyone know?
