Carolyn,
My beautiful, talented, and far better, Better Half.
Carolyn is stuck in Maplewood with our 3 felines, watching some weird plants growing in the garden, while I am off playing with orchids. For those active on Maplewood On Line, please meet Tabby.
ReFacebook
Long before the data mining issues, I decided that the Facebook concept violates my sense of privacy. Thus, I have shut down the profile I set up.
The greenhouse is open for retail sales on:
April 29th
May 20th
June 17th
Dates are subject to change, in case additional orchid events are added to my calendar. Please check back before coming to the greenhouse.

I was genetically imprinted on all things botanical in my fathers retailorchid/tropicals nursery. I elected not to go into the family business full time, but have always maintained my interest and a large collection of 'this and that'.
I have grown orchids since 1968, specializing in 'slippers' (primarily Paphiopedilum), with Paph fairrieanum my favorite species, smaller Vandaceous plants (see Neofinetia falcata 'Maplewood' at right) and a sprinkling of Cattleyas (see RLC Maui's Golden Charm below), Aussie Dendrobiums & Cymbidiums.
I do a little breeding in severalgenera, so I often have a variety of extra plants, seedlings and occasionally flasks for sale. For more information, please go to the Orchids & Non-Orchid menus.
I have several orchid presentations available, suitable for both orchid societies and garden clubs. For current speaking schedule, please click on Orchids, and then go to the Speaker page.
2021: Dendrobium Busy Bees earned a CCE/AOS (90 pts) at the June judging session in East Hanover.
2022: Laeliocattleya Hsin Buu Lady 'Y.T.' AM/AOS earned a CCM/AOS (87 pts) at the February judging session in Philly.

I am available as a speaker (on multiple subjects), either in person or via zoom; and as a vendor in regional shows. Please click on links above for more information.
I have written a number of articles for use in OS newsletters. These are available in PDF format at the bottom of the Speaker page.

CLIVIAS WANTED!
The now defunct Piping Rock nursery sold variegated Clivia miniata from China for several years. The source for these plants no longer exists.
If you have off-sets, or seeds, available from any of these plants, I would be interested in hearing from you.
Rlc. Golden Emperor 'Valley Isle' AM/AOS
The parentage is (Horace 'Maxima' x Goldenzelle), which has produced an unusual color. It appears to be a semi-alba at first glance, but after opening pale yellow, it matures into ivory with a spectacular purple lip.
New front lead divisions $50-75 each. Add $18 for USPS priority service, add $10 for AK & HI.
Blooming Phalaenopsis
Renting a greenhouse at Flemington Orchid LLC, I can obviously supply blooming Phalaenopsis plants (3" & 4" pot size).
Please inquire for pricing; wholesale pricing available for 24 pcs or more.
