A name that many of you in the bromeliad world will instantly recognize. Mr. Alvim Seidel died on April 10 at age 80. Donato Seidel, AlvimÂs son, will succeed the presidency of the company, ALVIM SEIDEL Orquidário Catarinense Ltda.

I will miss Mr. Seidel. I have been a devoted customer since 1980. Mr. Donato Seidel is committed to excellence. He has always been concerned with ensuring my happiness with my plant orders of bromeliads, orchids and marantaceae.
