For the 45 years we were in the retail
orchid business. Our "Specialty of the House" was warmth tolerant Cymbidiums
and Oncidium intergeneric hybrids. The Cymbidium hybrids we created
range from delicate Chinese miniature Cymbidiums to full-size standards. All
of these orchids were bred, raised and flowered in Belle Glade, Florida where
the sultry summers can reach 100 ° F. (38° C.) for many days.
The hybridizing program we have been
pursuing for the past 45 years has yielded more than 160 AOS awards. Our
breeding lines have brought us ever closer to the elusive goal of perfect
hybrids that conform to the traditional Cymbidium and Odontoglossom
standards. Along the way we have been blessed with some pleasant surprises. The "About Us" section describes our
breeding program in further detail. Thank you for visiting Everglades Orchids.
Although we are no longer retailing, we
have kept a nice selection of breeding plants and will continue to make new
hybrids for the future.
