A Winter Visit to Andy's Orchids: The World's Largest Orchid Collection
Andy Phillips of Andy's Orchids has built the largest collection of species orchids in the world! This is one of my favorite places to visit in San Diego. Andy has specimens from every genus, common to very rare, with over 7500 species and at least 750,000 individual plants available for purchase in at least 7 climate-controlled greenhouses plus numerous outdoor sections! He also keeps, propagates and sells many other tropical, temperate and desert plants like succulents, begonias, climbing plants, ferns and more!
There are prized specimen plants in every section of the property and even some show gardens. The seaside community of Encinitas, located on the northern half of coastal San Diego County, California, has the perfect year-round weather, with a high humidity but cool breeze, to raise many epiphytes. Most of the tropical species are kept in heated greenhouses while montane species are kept air-cooled, shaded buildings!
Four times a year, Andy and his wife host open-houses where guests can visit the facility and purchase plants. His brother, Harry, and many friends, employees and the interns are available to answer questions and make recommendations. You can also book private tours and visits by visiting the links below. Many plants can be purchased on the website, as well!

    It's been a few years since we've been there. It was on a plant day, and we toured the orchid house. One of the best tours there! Although I grew up in LA County, our family visited the San Diego Zoo since before I can remember, which is the 50s. We used to be members and took our own family there when Tiger River opened. It was revolutionary! Nothing like it had before existed. They had the Gharials as part of it then. Since then, they have opened up more native-type habitats on the "Tiger River" theme, but I will always like the first one the best. Take care.

    Just stick to the common names, spouting all the scientific species names every 5 seconds is boring as hell to 98% of those who will watch this. Stop trying to impress us with your memory of their scientific names, no one cares. You come off as an egotistic know-it-all.

    Ever go on one of their "plant days"? They have tours pointing out the various plants, and they also open the orchid house to the public (my favorite part!) Many years ago, when they first opened up "Tiger River", they had a gharial exhibit as part of the walk. But they were removed a few years later and moved behind the reptile house. I guess they weren't thriving there. I have been in poor health these past few years and haven't been to the zoo in years. Our youngest goes all the time to both parks. Take care.

    • @samscalz
      @samscalz 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I love their plant days! If you can make it out to the zoo, you'd love their new renovations the past 5 years. The children's zoo area has been totally changed. Hope your health allows you a chance to get out there.
