Hello, my name is Serena and I am Lady Vanda. Like most growers, I started out as a hobbyist just like you. The name Lady Vanda started with my grandma. Once my collection got a bit out of hand, she started calling me 'Señorita Vanda' and 'Señorita de las Orquideas'. The latter is quite the mouthful, so I decided to translate 'Señorita Vanda', thus Lady Vanda was born. Lady Vanda started from my passion for orchids and nature in general. But I love to help others find their green thumb, even when they don't think they have one. I saw an opportunity to cater to the new generation of hobbyists. Most people find orchids intimidating and hard to care for. I want everyone of all age groups to be interested in orchids. I want to help everyone start and grow their orchid collection. Through Lady Vanda Orchids my goal is to help everyone feel supported through their journey with orchid cultivation. Aside from education, my focus is to bring a wide variety of plants to our customers. From common Vanda Hybrids to lesser known miniature species, all plants sold are blooming size; most have previously bloomed several times and are well established. Current inventory is a mixture of imported plants and plants we have grown from flasks purchased from other growers and hybridizers. In 2023, I ramped up our breeding program and brought many new crosses, especially some intergenerics to the market. We look forward to another year of service with our customers, educating and supporting them as well as bringing new orchids to their collections .

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.
