Bespoke Orchids

WELCOME to Motes Orchids. Over the past fifty years, Motes Orchids has earned its reputation as the best breeder and grower of vandas. 

We offer the product of a decades long breeding program that has created the finest vandas in the world, all bred and grown right here in the United States. (On the rarer occasions when we offer plants grown by others, we give credit where it is due.) We are proudest of our hybrids. When you own a Motes Orchids hybrid, you own a unique plant no one else can own unless it is cloned. We encourage our customers to start their collections with unbloomed seedlings and enjoy being the very first person to see a unique flower bloom.

The Best Vandas in the World

Motes Orchids also offers select legacy blooming size plants and other rarities. From time to time, we will be able to offer ultra-rare and precious divisions of highly awarded and coveted plants. 

When we have the opportunity, we will also offer vandaceous orchids grown by some of the best foreign growers personally selected by Dr. Motes.
