     For about 9 years I grew on windowsills in Brooklyn, specializing in Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums and got AOS AWARDS! IT CAN BE DONE!
      I also loved species and found some wonderful ones that will grow in the home on a window or under lights or in a GREENHOUSE. I am delighted to offer my favorites. If you grow in the home let us help by making some suggestions.
     May 1998, just before we moved I received a HCC on a Paphiopedilum hookerae, and an HCC on a Paph. Macabre at the N.E. Judging center. Proving windowsill growers can get AOS awards!

WE HAVE TRIED TO LIST ALL THE PLANTS ACCURATELY

We are growing from customer satisfaction!

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR 2023 CATALOG. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL US OR BETTER YET CALL. WE ALWAYS ENJOY TALKING ABOUT ORCHIDS.

We are often asked what is the pot size? We do not price our plants by pot size but rather the size of the plant and how close they are to blooming, trying to be as accurate as possible. Bulbophyllums are mounted and potted.

Looking for a gift, let us help you make a selection. It took me years before my husband finally got the hint that I wanted an ORCHID for a birthday present!

I have compiled culture sheets for Paphs., Phrags., and Phalenopsis for the home grower. If you would like a free copy please write and send a self  adressed, stamped envelope.
