Welcome!
My site is mostly dedicated to 2 of my favorite activities: music and gardening. The next pages will tell you a bit more about it all as well as the many pictures found on this site and the music that you can listen to. Photography, tarveling and languages (I speak French, English and Spanish) are also of great interest to me. Enjoy and come in from time to time to see or hear what's new!

What is new... ?
2009-11-01
My own early bloomers hybrids has begun again, there will be 10 altogether, the first one has been published.
2009-10-08
A new link has been added to the "Gardening" page, the "Amaryllis LaNa" link, that is the where to find my own creations from now on. The old page still exists, but it now only contains the Autralian, South African and Dutch hybrids.
The reason to modify is that my own creations are takink more and more room. I have 4 more plants from the experiment group that will bloom shortly. They are a year and 3 months old, which will make 8 plants that will have bloomed from between a year and 1.5 year. I expect to find a few more shortly. To be followed...

That's it, a new world record has been set for flowering a hippeastrums from seed in 363 days only! See the hippeastrum page.

Music
I have a formal training in music which I obtained in 2004 at CEGEP de Ste-Foy music school.
I'm the director of a choir made of persons aged between 50 and 80 years old for which I do most of the arrangements for voices and piano.
Composing music is very important to me, I have written some 60 pieces since year 2000. Some of my works are used all around the world for different purposes. The "Music" page holds several of my pieces that you can listen to.

Gardening
I'm self thaught in this field. I used to work a lot with orchids; I was the first person from the Province of Quebec and only the 10th Canadian to ever register an orchid hybrid with the RHS authorities. It's also at the end of 1980 that I founded an orchid society now known as "Les orchidophiles de Québec".
Right now, I'm more into perenials. I select new hybrid plants created by the insects or from sowing the seeds obtained from plants that I pollinated myself: hostas, echinaceas, iris, paeonia, hemerocallis, etc. The aim is to find some new worthy cultivars. You can see many of the plants that I use or have found in the gardening section of my site.
