I'm a Southern California–based orchid collector, grower, and hobbyist with a passion for sharing the incredible diversity of orchids beyond the familiar Phalaenopsis varieties often seen in stores. Many of the hybrids I purchase come from passionate orchid lovers and breeders who dedicate their lives to designing and hybridizing some of the most exceptional orchids in the world. I care for these plants and bring them to the public to spark curiosity and appreciation for their beauty and variety.
Some of the orchids I present have never bloomed before, which means their flowers are still a mystery waiting to unfold. For those, I love showing photos of their parent plants and inviting others to imagine what unique beauty might emerge.
My goal is to make orchid growing approachable for everyone. In our mild Southern California climate, it's easier than you might think—especially with the right tools and guidance. Whether you're looking to start your own collection or just want to learn more, I’m here to help you get inspired and set up for success.
