Biography
Dodson was born in Selma, California. He specialized in orchidology very early in his career. Over the course of his life, he made numerous expeditions to the tropics of the Americas, covering the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, where he collected specimens and discovered new species of different genera of orchids.
In 1960 Dodson began, in collaboration with Robert Dressler, a classification of the Maxillaria of the Americas. In 1965 he presented a study of the pollinating agents of orchids and the importance that they have on the evolutionary development of the family Orchidaceae.
In the spring of 1973, Dodson was named Executive Director of the new "Marie Selby Botanical Garden" in Sarasota, Florida, of which today he is "Honorary Curator of Orchidaceae". In 1975 Dodson created the genus Dressleria (named after Robert Dressler) including species of the genus Catasetum, from which he also reclassified other species of the genus Clowesia.

Cold Snow
by: Orange 9mmLately when it's cold outside I got to find a
Place where I can hide
My hurt pride.
Lately when I need a friend, if I can't find

Don't you want me.
My hero, I need your hand
I'm zero and I can't live like this

Everybody needs somebody sometime
Life is vicious.
It's crazy what I hold inside,
If I don't think about it I just might get by,
It's crazy will you every know
I twist my face right the scars won't show,
I'm a dying flower don't you want me.
Why I am what I am becasue I am
