provides an overview of the diverse family of cattleya species that exist in
nature as well as an inside look at the renowned growers around the world who
played a role in creating these enduring legacies. Included are the fascinating
stories of the actual flower presentations, many of which involved the

CHADWICK'S IN THE WASHINGTON POST


THIS FLORIST STARTED CARING FOR AILING ORCHIDS ON THE SIDE. HE’S NOW BABYSITTING
13,000.


Teddy Oh walks past Chadwick & Son Orchids in Richmond after purchasing his
first orchid. Art Chadwick opened the Museum District shop 15 years ago. The
business is known for boarding customers’ orchids between bloom cycles.

April 10

Even within Richmond’s redbrick historic neighborhood known as the Museum
District, Art Chadwick’s florist’s shop seems like a quaint throwback to an
earlier time. A bell chimes as you open the door, and fans swirl below a
pressed-tin ceiling. Cymbidiums, cattleyas and other flowering orchids are
presented in decorative pots on round tables. Along one wall, a green pleated
sofa invites patrons to linger and chat.

I am here on a mild Friday afternoon in winter, and a small but steady stream of
customers arrive, chatting in relaxed fashion with the proprietor. Chadwick, 56,
is dressed casually in a brown cable-knit sweater, and he seems to be a guy
comfortable in his own skin, smooth and urbane — in sum, exactly what you might
expect in the genteel and luxuriant world of orchids.

HERE’S HOW HORTICULTURALISTS MADE THE MICHELLE OBAMA ORCHID

THIS YEAR’S ORCHID SHOW TAKES OVER THE CAVERNOUS NATURALLY-LIT KOGOD COURTYARD
WITH THOUSANDS ON VIEW

acclaim in the plant world. (Courtesy of Arthur E. Chadwick)

In 2009, orchid grower and connoisseur Arthur E. Chadwick, owner of Chadwick &
Son Orchids, arrived at the Harrison Opera House in Norfolk, Virginia. He was
there to meet the then-First Lady Michelle Obama at a private reception. In his
arms, he was juggling an arrangement of five gorgeous orchids with blooms in
hues ranging from lavender to fuchsia.

The plants, cultivated by Chadwick himself, were a specialized breeding of the
hybrid Cattleya Mini Purple and the species Cattleya trianaei to create a new
variety that would be known as Cattleya Michelle Obama. The orchids were to be
presented as a gift to Obama, the 14th consecutive First Lady to have a cattleya
orchid named in her honor.
