- Come along with me and my cohost Teresita on a special day at legendary orchid pioneers, R.F. orchids located in the heart of the agricultural district of Miami, Florida also. Known as Redland (Agricultural District). R.F. Orchids opened its doors in the fall of 1970 on a portion of Fred and Louise Fuchs’ 1921 homestead property.
Fred, Sr. and Louise ran their nursery together until Fred, Sr.’s death in 1969. Because of Fred’s ill health in the last few years of his life, the nursery suffered some decline during that time. In 1970 grandson Robert Fuchs graduated from Florida State University, and after graduation returned to Homestead and began a massive cleanup and renovation of the nursery. He brought in plants from his own collection, which had been housed at another site, and R.F. Orchids opened for business in December of that year.
At that time, Bob’s official profession was teaching at Homestead Junior High, and the nursery was open only on weekends and afternoons after school. Juggling both commitments was quite an effort.
1984 brought the attention of orchid growers around the world to Miami, for the 11th World Orchid Conference and its prestigious orchid show. Much of that attention focused on R.F. Orchids when their plants won 12 individual medals and their exhibit won a Best In Class trophy. And most important of all, R.F. Orchids’ plant Vanda Deva ‘Robert’ was honored as the Grand Champion of the11WOC. This award catapulted them into international recognition and acceptance as one of the leading vandaceous orchid firms in the world. Today Bob Fuchs together with husband and VP of RF Orchids, Micheal Coronado continue the RF legacy showcasing a massive tropical garden that serves as their branded center offering wonderful tours, events rentals, and yearly events that gives us orchid collectors exciting fairs and orchid shows year round.
I hope you enjoy this small but fun tour around their historic greenhouses filled with thousands of award winning beauties.

RF really does have such amazing orchids and such amazing variety!! Truly top notch!
They are truly a great grower and I'm so happy with their orchids they sell. Micheal and Bob are amazing people to know. Very loving.
🦋 Happy New Year Nelson,
Thanks much for the virtual visits, I absolutely love traveling along with you and your co-hosts
You were so brave to express your position, setting a healthy boundary with "we" the viewers, while keeping a healthy relationship with the growers.
Thank you for going the extra mile🫂
Many beautiful blessings 🦋
Joan A.
I’m glad you appreciated the honesty. 🙏 Thank you for your thoughts.
Thank you for showing us your beautiful visit at R.F. Orchids- I love it there too! The gorgeous orchid species is Epidendrum stamfordianum. I purchased a beautiful pink clone (rosea) of the same species when I was there before. Unfortunately, I don't have it anymore. Watching your videos is the next best thing to being there! 😊
Thank you for the description. I found the name immediately after releasing the video. You just confirmed it. 👍🏼 It’s so beautiful. I’ll be hunting it next year if RF doesn’t have any for sale. That one was a display only. The pink rosea sounds awesome. 🤩
Gorgeous orchids. ❤❤for sharing
You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video! 😊
I used to live in the West Palm, Lake Welch area but have since moved back to NY State. Best of luck to your locals

4:36 The spicerianum is a moderately cool growing orchid.
20:22 Probably the only place where someone will find a psychopsis magnet. 🦋
35:16 Maybe it's an Epidendrum stamfordianum? (Used Google Lens)
@@Joe-nj3bb You are a boss! Thanks so much for the ID. We weren’t able to find a tag and then forgot to ask the staff. Appreciate you. 🫶🏼
Hi, love your vids, especially the ones with Tere-you guys have great energy together! Just a small suggestion: maybe consider trimming down the intro a bit. Happy growing!
The intro has been branded for 4 years. It’s 30 seconds. Just double tap on your phone or iPad. Or simply scroll to beginning. You don’t need to watch the intro. I get so many compliments on my intro on my threads and when I’m out in public. I even have children dancing to my intro on videos that parents send me.
Thank you, Happy growing.

17:07 was looking for their Etsy and it seems there’s no shipping outside US. I maybe need to wait couple more years 😊
Oh I forgot to mention in one video: Hoya linearis is not that difficult to take care. I gave mine the care which I give to my complex Phalaenopsises: bright indirect light, cooling to initiate the blooms and keep it moist. I killed mine by changing it to wrong media.
