Former Bahamian Diplomat, Winston D. Munnings, is also an avid flower photographer. One of his specialties is Orchids.

The Monthly Bulletin is published by the American Orchid Society with headquarters in Delray Beach, Florida.

Throughout its 85-year history the AOS has strived to bring its members timely and state-of-the-
"For me this was a dream come through. I’ve been a member of the American Orchid Society for just a few years now, but have always imagined one of my images being published in its Bulletin one day" Munnings said. "As a Photographer, this is quite an honor which I will cherish forever and a day" he continued.
A Native of Islands of The Bahamas, Winston studied Photography at the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale and the New York Institute of Photography. After almost two decades in the Diplomatic Service of The Bahamas, he retired as Consul General and currently shuttles between South Florida, Washington DC., and The Bahamas. Although he refers to himself as a Generalist, he has a passion and fondness for Flower Photography.... Orchids, in particular. Winston is also a former Television & Radio News Anchor, and former News Editor with the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas.
