Yes Rivermont is what I was thinking of...if I recall correctly they used to
breed a lot of Catts. Was owned by Clint Dade or McDade? Did some of the
first work with Don Wimber and cloning? or poliploidy... (yes? no? my
brain is rapidly turning into mush,LOL!)

Riverbend Orchids is in Biloxi, Mississippi. Perhaps you are thinking of
Rivermont Orchids, which was on top of Signal Mountain, just north of
Chattanooga? The famous old firm of Rivermont Orchids (which supplied the
orchids for the classic movie, In the Heat of the Night) closed down in
1975
or so. Lines Orchids is located about 1/2 mile down the road from the
former Rivermont property. John Lines at one time worked at Rivermont.
Hope this helps. ;^)
