Mysterious, romantic, sometimes surreal. Orchids are the most highly developed plants, and have the reputation of being difficult. Some are, but those we grow are reliable and sturdy - a perfect fit for your patio, windowsill or greenhouse.
When most think of orchids, steamy jungles or greenhouses come to mind. While there are many tropical orchid species, there are also many that grow in the cool temperatures of a home or patio.
Flowers by the Sea specializes in growing spectacular orchids that thrive in the cool climates, indoors, on a summer patio - anywhere but an expensive to heat warm greenhouse. Our plants have a more "natural" form, are naturally tougher and pest resistant, and ready to thrive in your collection.
We are proud of what we grow. Our selection is not expansive, but everything we offer is a good-to-great clone, an easy to grow plant, and has been given the best care possible.
