  • This episode introduces the minds and some work of Mr Gregory Hambali. Its a casual introduction to his background, and through process behind hybridizing plants. I asked him for the reasoning behind hybridizing plants, why we hybridize them? And then I asked about some of his past works that he is most proud of. I tried to keep this interview light and casual so you don’t feel overwhelmed. This is because the next episodes are about to get pretty tense and dense!

    Mr. Hambali, thank you so much for your hybridizing work! I have ‘Pride of Sumatra’. I recognized its spectacular beauty and finally own one. Thank you, again!
