Welcome to Our Site... |

Take a tour of our site.....we hope you find your visit to be enjoyable and that you find a plant or two to add to your collection.
We have a definite passion for all aspects of orchid growing and collecting. Our goal is to help our customers become world class orchid growers. You may sign up for our free monthly emails containing a wealth of cultural information and other areas of interest, including seasonal reminders. We will continue to add to the variety of species available, as many are becoming increasingly rare and endangered. You will also benefit from our research into proven bloodlines exhibited in the plants we offer. Our hope is that by visiting our website, you will learn at least one idea that will greatly improve your orchid growing experience.
We are proud of the quality plants we offer and know you will feel the same once you have one or more of our prized orchids. We look forward to hearing from you!!
Pictured below is Dtps. Newberry Parfait 'Picotee' AM/AOS. We have a large group of this beautiful orchid available now in spike or blooming in our greenhouse. To see the price of this and other plants that we have available, click on the Store tab above. You will find plants in their growing containers, or you can purchase one, or more, plants in decorative containers, which are attractively arranged using moss and curly willow.

On Saturday, January 14, 2006, we exhibited a group of Phragmapedium besseae at the regional judging center in Atlanta. We hoped to win at least one quality award from the group. Imagine our surprise when we received six quality awards - three Award of Merits (AM), two Highly Commendable Certificates (HCC) and an Award of Quality (AQ) for a group of 12 besseae of the same cross! Terry Root is the hybridizer. See the group pictured below.
We accept personal checks, cash, money orders, Visa/Mastercard, AMEX, Discover and PayPal. We do ship orchids domestically, however, we prefer to see you at regional shows. We welcome your inquiries!

Want to Come Visit Us?
Mountain View Orchids' Greenhouse/Showroom is open by appointment only.
Although orchids are a full-time passion for us, we operate this business on a part-time basis and maintain a small, knowledgeable staff. It is always advisable to call (864) 325-0705 ahead of your visit to ensure we will be available to meet with you.
Currently blooming in our showroom are, oncidiums, miniature dendrobiums, and white phalaenopsis. We also have lady slippers and some minature cattleyas. Other orchids are coming into bloom daily.
If you are scheduling a trip into the Greenville area on any weekend, give us a call in advance, and we will try to accomodate your visit on Saturday, possibly a Sunday if given enough notice. We always welcome out of town visitors to our greenhouse! If you have a garden club, orchid society, or any other group that would like to visit our greenhouse, we will be delighted to plan a special time for your outing. Please give a call, or email your desire to have Mountain View Orchids host your group.

If you think you can not grow orchids....think again! Very often people tell us that they just can not make an orchid live. If you would like to find out more about growing orchids, keeping them healthy, and just enjoying the satisfaction of watching orchids grow, we will be offering this popular seminar again in the near future. This one-hour seminar will be at our office at 900 Pendleton Street, near downtown Greenville, SC. If you would like to inquire about the next seminar, please e-mail Kurt at kstudier@mountainvieworchids.com. You may also call our office at (864) 325-0705. After each seminar, you may tour our greenhouse. A variety of plants will be available for purchase.
Future seminars may cover growing orchids under lights, repotting orchids, growing masdevallias, lady slippers, etc. We will publish a schedule on this site. Please watch for more information.
