For the 50 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.
