Grower and hybridizer Jim Roberts of Florida SunCoast Orchids has been in business for over 30 years. He has traveled extensively in search of orchid treasures in Hawaii, South America, and Europe, seeking the plants that will grow and bloom best for his clients.

From 2004 to 2025, Florida SunCoast registered or originated 215 orchid hybrids in 60 genera, including 19 primary and 173 intergeneric with a strong focus on Cattleyas and Encyclias.

Jim has been a friend of the Boca Raton Orchid Society for many years and is a popular vendor at our yearly Orchid Shows. Jim is a passionate educator and a favorite among orchid society audiences for his knowledge, humor, and practical growing advice.

He will share his extensive knowledge of orchid problems with us at our meeting. Be sure to take notes; your orchid collection will definitely benefit!

Jim will bring plants to sell at this meeting, so members may not sell plants. There will be plant judging.

Monthly Meetings

Our Society meets on the second Thursday of each month at 7:30 pm. You are always welcome to attend a meeting, check out what's happening and meet our members.

At each meeting we have an interesting speaker, a raffle table, refreshments, a lending library for members, a ribbon-judged display table of members' plants, and a sales table where you can find fabulous bargains. The meetings are a great opportunity to see and learn of the wide variety of fabulous orchids that can be grown in South Florida.
