Woodstream Orchids is the largest active producer of seed
grown orchid species and hybrids in the Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Washington D.C. and
Virginia region. Woodstream Orchids was founded in 1990, as a
mail order distributor of orchid flasks and seedlings
(predominantly Paphs). We are now one of the largest breeders of
Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums in the United States.
Woodstream Orchids is the exclusive retail and wholesale
partner of Maduro's Tropical Flowers (MTF) of Panama.
This joint venture allows us to offer species and unique hybrids
from one of the largest and most diverse orchid nurseries in the
hemisphere. 2007 celebrates our 7th Anniversary working with the
Maduros!
In February, 2002, Woodstream Orchids entered a joint venture
with Papa Aroha Orchids of Coromandel, New Zealand. Paph
Aroha is an exclusive hybridizer and grower of high quality and
unique Paphiopedilum hybrids and species. We offer seedlings and
blooming size plants from the Papa Aroha nursery.
Barry Fraser closed Papa Aroha Orchids in late 2005 to enjoy
a retirement of "windsurfing and tramping around the world".
Consequently, Woodstream Orchids has purchased much of Barry's
incredible breeding stock, and thousands of seedlings to
perpetuate the tradition of excellence that Barry Fraser created
in the area of Paphiopedilum species and complex Paphiopedilum
hybrids. We also puchased significant portions of the elite
Paphiopedilum species and hybrid breeding stock from Emerson
'Doc' Charles' famous collection and Dr. Jack Vickery's Orchid
Thoroughbreds. These acquisitions will allow us to bring many
exciting offerings to our Paph customers for years to come! |
