Tony MilletTony Millet has been growing orchids for 30 years, hybridizing orchids for 20 years. He enjoys making hybrids using hard to find, rare, or different color forms of species. He recently moved to Florida from New York where he grew and cultivated plants that were cool to intermediate, Dendrobiums, Masdevillia, Encyclias and Sophronitis. He is presently breeding intermediate to warm cattleya alliance hybrids using other color forms than typical (lavenders and purples).
