Steven A. Frowine

Welcome!

Paphiopedilum Langley Pride 'Burlingame' HCC/AOS

Thanks for visiting my Web site.


I have been obsessed with orchids since I was a high school kid, when I grew orchids in my basement. My fascination with these regal, exotic flowers has never waned. In my simple website you can see samples of my writing about these wonderful plants and links to purchase a few of my books that are out or are soon to be released.

I hope you enjoy these books. They are written from many years of my own trials and errors and are intended to give you all the information you need to be successful in growing and enjoying orchids.

I have provided you, on this site, with the first chapters of both books. Please realize that these are yours to read and enjoy, but that all of this is copyrighted material that cannot be reproduced without my permission. Thanks for respecting this.

I hope these books will convince you to give orchid growing a try. If you do, I am sure you will discover that there is no more rewarding lifetime hobby. Good luck!

I'd like to meet you in person.


I am giving many lectures in 2008--spring and fall. I have some of them listed on the right column of this page.
