My name is Ramnarine John Budree, I was born in Trinidad and migrated to Florida about ten years ago. In Trinidad I grew many different types of orchids and took part in many shows, but there was always something more I all ways wanted to learn about orchids.

So when I came to Florida I got involved with orchids on a different level, here I got to grow all those types of plants that I read about, I met the people that grew and wrote the articles that I had read. So I started on a journey; I started to go to shows, and what you do when you go to a show? YOU BUY ORCHIDS which you know nothing about in the hope you can grow or flower it [yeah right] I always liked Paphs. but I was told I could not grow them, so this became a challenge to me, and those plants seemed to be very interesting as well.

I met Jack Schendowich, Warren Kelly {Orchid World}, Bob Skully{Jones & Skully}, Mr. Frank Smith {Krull-Smith}. These people know how to grow orchids, but not just orchids, but paphs, cattleyas, phals ,dendrobiums, oncidiums, e.g. Krull Smith has more AOS awards than any other orchid grower past or present. Mr. Frank Smith is a very good grower and very experienced Paph grower. I had an opportunity to work with him at the 19 WOC in Miami 2008 and I tried to absorb as much of his knowledge as possible. I also did an exhibit on my own. after that I started to grow many types of Paphs and today I own over 600 Paphs. as well as about 1000 other types of orchids. In short I have been growing Orchids for about 30 years, I have grown from flask to flower
