Winter Haven Orchid Nursery - About Us
Last updated: March 30, 2003

To all you orchid lovers our story is a familiar theme. First we fall in love with an orchid and then another. Soon there is a flasking case in the kitchen and we are now reaching our one hundredth cross to be flasked. Once you start cross-pollinating orchids you are always looking at orchid blooms wondering what would happen if we combined the best features of these two beauties. Actually when the children plants start blooming you usually receive a variety of results. Some will bloom out like the seed parent and some like the pollen parent but most will be in between the two.

Most of the plants we offer will be original orchid seedlings. Each plant is unique and many with award quality potential. Many of our crosses are beginning to bloom out and the results have been very exciting. Each cross has been cataloged and the date of pollination is given so you know how old the seedling plant is that you are obtaining. If you wish we can also supply dates of mother flasking, first replate flasking, first compoting, first seedling to bloom, and final registered name with the Royal Horticulture Society.

As you can imagine, we have many crosses that will be maturing in the near future and will be added to the site periodically.

Our greenhouses are not open to the public at this time. Our seedlings may be obtained through this website and you can contact us through our message board. We hope you enjoy our seedlings as much as we do.
