Welcome to the North Eastern New York Orchid Society (NENYOS)!
Join us on Saturday, October 3rd, our speaker will be Dave Sorokowsky of Paph Paradise. Dave is an AOS accredited judge and noted orchid speaker who will be talking to us about Paph. rothschildianum. Here is Dave's story:
It all started with a few orchid seedlings from a ‘big box’ store…
Soon all the windows were full. Then the grow lights went into the spare bedroom, and then the inevitable greenhouse was built. As our collection grew we experimented with different genera, but found that slipper orchids were the most intriguing. After a few years they became our main focus.
We have 20 years experience growing and breeding top quality orchids with close to 100 AOS and CSA awards. Having been a major customer of the Orchid Zone, we were able to acquire some of the finest plants in the world from them, and now we are using these exceptional orchids to produce our own new and unique breeding lines. After dabbling with hybridizing for a few years, we started setting significant numbers of seed pods in 2013/2014. These seedlings have started blooming in 2017 and we are looking forward to seeing more and more in the coming years.
