Award Winning Cymbidium Grower and Judge

I am an orchid enthusiast and former judge for the Cymbidium Society of America (CSA) who specializes in growing exhibition and award quality cymbidiums outdoors in southern California. Here the weather is great for growing many different types of orchids and cymbidiums are the perfect choice. I have been collecting these plants over the past 20+ years, and more recently been making my own hybrids trying to create new and exciting varieties that combine high color and form to attract the attention of the discerning hobbyist. With this website I have provided many photos of some of my favorite orchids. I specialize in plants for the show bench as well as pelorics and splash petal/feathered varieties. I often have new plants available for sale, so visit the site for new additions in the Latest News section.
