Scott Dallas, White Oak Orchids

"The beginnings of your greenhouse environment"

White Oak Orchids, Inc. has been caring for orchids professionally since the early 1980s. Its services include orchid sales, boarding, on site greenhouse, office or home maintenance and consulting. White Oaks has 25,000 square feet of growing space devoted exclusively to orchids. The nursery moved to extraordinary growing conditions in Pacifica in February of 2004. The newly refurbished high tech greenhouses offer a wide range of growing conditions from Vandas to Cyms. Scott and Gwen successfully cultivate some 350 genera with countless species and hybrids.

Scott Dallas has loved and grown orchids for 31 years. He fell into the early stages of the orchid collecting bug with species cattleyas. Soon thereafter miltonias and paphiopedilums were added to the must list. One species led to another and soon Scott found himself in the business of growing orchids professionally.

Gwen Watson fell under the spell of a pink Cattleya as a teenager visiting a conservatory for the first time. In addition to a fascination with growing orchids, Gwen also has created a large photography portfolio of orchids.

Being true farmers, Scott and Gwen practice not only agriculture, but husbandry as well. Gwen founded the Iambe Cattery several years ago. Iambe specializes in the clowns of the cat world, European Burmese. The kitten photo on the opening page of the White Oak site will provide more information.

Scott has been President and has held many other offices for the Peninsula Orchid Society on the San Francisco Peninsula
