Amazonia Orchids

Specialties

Amazonia Orchids, Inc. produces and sell orchids to both consumers and the trade industry in the U.S. and internationally. Our nursery is situated on five acres of beautiful Homestead farmland.

We specialize in Cattleya species and hybrids, including a wide array of fragrant flowers. Some of the fragrant scents of these vibrantly colored orchids include: cinnamon, lemon, lavender, tropical spice, and floral.

ln addition to individual plant sales, Amazonia also creates gorgeous floral arrangements and rents plants for events.

Amazonia is one of a few nurseries in South Florida that owns and operates its own lab which we use to create orchid hybrids and clones. We also do research, experiments, and studies of the orchids from a genetic level both for our nursery and as a service to other orchid growers
