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

Our Orchid Society
The Boca Raton Orchid Society began in 1989 with just 27 members. Since then, the Society has grown tremendously and now has a membership of more than 140 members. Our subtropical climate is perfect for growing an astounding variety of warm to intermediate temperature orchids in Palm Beach County. Each year our members enjoy several fun-filled orchid events, including an Awards meeting in December and the highlight event, our Annual Valentines Show & Sale scheduled for February 13 - 14, 2027.
