Segundo and Yolanda Questa started hybridizing orchids in 1984 and in 1992 opened Quest Orchids, their retail orchid business. They started with two greenhouses and today have 50,000 square feet of growing space.

Quest Orchids specializes in Art Shaped Cattleyas and in cloning old standards. They also have a new breeding line of standard flowers with compact plants, which have been very successful for them.

Quest Orchids also participates in about fifteen shows across the country each year.

Tonight they will teach us about orchid pests and diseases so that we can keep our orchids in tiptop shape.

Quest Orchids will be supplying the raffle table this evening, so members may not sell anything at this meeting.  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.
