| Orchid science The garden workshop of Professor Carey D. Miller Manoa Valley - January 1971 |
 |
| My mother was a student of Carey D. Miller at the University of Hawaii in the 1930s, worked on her staff until early in WWII, and remained a close personal friend until her death. Miller, in addition to being a world class nutritionist and food scientist, was in love with orchids, and later in life poured her prodigious energies into new varieties of miniatures. I recently found and scanned several negatives from a 1971 visit to her Manoa home .
