Description: Silva Orchids was founded in 1957 by August Silva. “Gus” started growing orchids in 1934 and became known for his superb orchid culture. In 1977 his sons, Anthony and Joseph took over the business after Gus’ passing and have continued the tradition of producing only quality orchids. Just as it was in 1957, our 20,000 square feet of greenhouses are dedicated entirely to orchids. We grow “old” style, using fir bark and certain fertilizers to produce strong, healthy, well-rooted plants.
