Orchids for Ikebana

Art Chadwick founded Chadwick and Son Orchid, Inc in 1989 with his father, who has been growing orchids since 1943.  The Classic Cattleyas’ is widely considered to be the definitive book on large flowered Cattleya species and was written by Art and his father.  Art provided information on the characteristics and care of Cattleya, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Lady Slipper and Phalaenopsis orchids. 17 arrangements using orchids were on display for the Member Showcase; 3 from the Ichiyo School, 4 from the Ohara School, 4 from the Ikenobo School and 7 from the Sogetsu School.
