For the 45 years we were in 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.
