"The shop Enchanted Orchids opened in May... 17 years of experience growing orchids in South Florida, Robert McCurdy, 42, opened his 700-square-foot orchid... shop...
said Joe Siegmeister, shop manager... "... Vanda is... a conversation piece," Siegmeister... with Central Florida's large retiree population, plenty of folks have time to host get-togethers, and orchids make exciting party decor... Orchids don't usually have a scent [!!!], but a small burgundy orchid smells like chocolate. ... In the spring, McCurdy plans to launch an orchid-sitting business for snowbirds who leave Florida. They can leave their orchids for safekeeping until they return. McCurdy also builds orchid houses to keep the plants healthy outdoors and sells gift baskets that combine orchids, air plants and bromeliads. In addition to selling orchids for weddings, he also will rent them."
