In 2010, TropicalExotique was founded in the mountains of northern Thailand, near Chiang Mai. Chiang Mai provided a tropical savanna climate, tempered by the low latitude and moderate elevation, with warm to hot weather year-round, though nighttime conditions during the dry season can be cool and much lower than daytime highs.

Our nursery specializes in flora native to Asia. In addition to our local offering in Thailand, we go on expeditions to procure rare and unique flora throughout Asia including Cambodia. Vietnam, Singapore, and Indonesia.

At TropicalExotique, we have a vast selection of rare and exotic plants. We are able to offer orchids in flasks, seedings, and adult plants. In addition, we also provide a number of other tropical plants including hoyas, huperzias, and platyceriums.

J&L Orchids is a nursery that began nearly 50 years ago in a quiet, Connecticut town. We specialize in miniature orchids that can be grown in the house and have a long history in the orchid-growing community around the world.

Our specialty areas are unusual species, miniatures, masdevallias, draculas and other pleurothallidinae. Although we sell predominately species, we were influential in starting the revival in masdevallia hybridizing in the early 1980's and continue to sell a variety of these colorful hybrids.

Thank you for your business, and we hope that we can help you see the value in adopting these challenging plants into your life as they reward you with some of the most impressive flowers and foliage that exist.

Tim says, “although I teach middle school kids for a living, one of my passions has always been plants. I began growing orchids as an offshoot from working at Longwood Gardens in Philadelphia just after college. From the very beginning it was all about Paphs, particularly awarded and select clones of historic importance, of which my collection numbers nearly 3000.

While I love finding old, rare stepping stones in Paph. breeding, I also do a little hybridizing of my own, and growing up my own babies is a blast. I am an accredited judge with the American Orchid Society, and have served in various capacities with various orchid societies in California and on the East Coast.

I love meeting other people who like orchids too, and doing so often finds me traveling to shows, vendors, and peoples’ greenhouses to see the latest and greatest in new hybrids and to get the best orchid gossip.
