Tony Millet, GOOD GROWING….the BASICS and WHAT IT TAKES

Tony Millet’s mom started started his growing career at a very young age, growing everything from seed. Growing up in Brooklyn NYC, his orchid growing career delving into cool, intermediate and warm types. Having the experience of growing in underground cold frames to an above greenhouse did set the tone for his new semi-retirement growing style. Presently he is growing under plastic covered lathe houses South Florida style (open on all sides) to include a small greenhouse for early seedlings. The early childhood experience of growing from seed set the tone for his own orchid hybridizing program.

He breeds and grows unusual hybrids in the large cattleya alliance. He  performs all flasking activities, lectures and teaches  He is an AOS judge. Many of his hybrids have been AOS awarded and are one of a kind,  meaning not cloned or meristemed. His present growing goal is to impart warm tolerance to some of the cooler growing colorful hadro laelias now cattleyas.  Enjoy natures best…Orchids.
