Venice Community Center (doors open at 6:30pm)                     

The Speaker will be: Francisco Miranda

Presenting: The Dynamic Duo Cattleya walkeriana & nobillior

Miranda Orchids started in 1999 and is a nursey specializing in growing mainly selected Cattleya alliance species. In a sense, it is a continuation of Boa Vista Orchids, a nursery he ran in Brazil from 1986 until he and his wife moved to the USA. Many of the plants available are produced in their lab and nursery in Central Florida from their extensive collection of stud plants. The rest are brough from Brazil to increase variety and novelty. Being native Brazilians, and having had a nursery for many years they know that there is a lot of development in Cattleya species being done there. This is mostly because a lot of those species are native from Brazil (including all the bifoliate cattleyas) and because these plants are favorites of growers there. Of course, having lived and grown orchids for a long time there, they know most of the growers and what is being produced and they go there several times a year to make sure thy are kept up-to-date. Miranda Orchids also grows other Brazilian species so if you are looking for something in particular, do not hesitate to contact them. Their goal is to be your number one source for selected Brazilian Orchids

Francisco will have plants for sale.
