Brian started growing and hybridizing orchids in his backyard, but this has expanded to 4000 square feet of greenhouse space.   He will grow anything green, but focuses on his hybridizing projects, which include the development of multi-floral white and pink Paphiopedilums, warmth-tolerant red Oncidiinae, and a standard pink Cattleya with an all-white lip.

Accompanied by his wife, Mary-Margaret, and inspired by his orchids, Brian continues to pursue and perfect his orchid culture and photographic skills.  Brian’s photography has won awards online, in the 2007 Miami International Orchid Show, and at the 2008 World Orchid Conference, and will be exhibited in Florida and California in 2009.  Brian is currently a student judge with the American Orchid Society.

Brian and his wife formed Blu Llama Orchids, Inc. 3052 S. Oakland Forest Drive #2104 Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33309
