Presenting: Dendrobium’s

Born Kansas City, Mo 1961, Bret’s love of Orchids began in February 2006 when he gave his wife Ruth her first orchid, a lime green hard cane dendrobium.   After that they joined the Florida West Coast Orchid Society, a month later they attended their first orchid auction; 26 plants later the passion had begun.

With over 8,000 orchids now, they own Accent Orchids.  He, and his wife Ruth, started their business in 2012 with their nursery in the backyard. Bret built all their shade houses that hold their orchids.

Bret has been the president of both the Tampa Bay Orchid Society and is currently the president of the Florida West Coast Orchid Society. His love to educate people is his motivation. He currently has talks on Dendrobiums, Schomburgkia’s , Grammatophyllum’s , and watering systems.
