Our Hobby's Gone Wild!
Almost 45 years ago, on a bright sunny irresistible day in March,
Doug and I played hooky from home renovating. Our consequence was the
discovery of orchids. Immediately these intriguing plants cast their
spell upon us. Over the years we have grown many, many genera;
Paphiopedilum, Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Miltoniopsis, Phragmipedium,
Oncidium, and Pleurothallis to name but a few. Most of these are still
represented in our greenhouse.
Countless trophies and boxes of
ribbons document our participation in shows all over North America. We
pride ourselves on our displays which have been recognized with more that 100 AOS Show Trophies including silver and gold certificates. At the 11th
World Orchid Conference in Miami, Florida, 3 silver medals for
flowering plants and a silver certificate for the display confirmed
world class quality. Our Dracula NIGHTSHADE 'Black Ice' AM/AOS received
a trophy at the 16th World Orchid Congress in Vancouver in 1999. In
addition, our plants have been recognized with more than hundred
A.O.S. awards. Some of these spectacular plants have even been
mericloned.
