Encinitas Orchids was born from a live-long love of flowers, a keen sense of design, a creative and artistic sensibility, and a bit of serendipity - neighbors and friends asking for creations as gifts.
The business just sorta happened - but listen to the video to hear more.
Don Doerfler comes by his creative, artistic talents naturally. How can one avoid it, with both parents being animators - his mother worked for Disney and his father worked for Warner - and a grandmother, Florence Davis, with a well-established reputation in the San Diego art community as an Impressionist and Plein Air painter?
Don's newest orchid creation is a beautiful example of his design esthetic and eye for the beauty of nature - check out the "Drift-ePhyte" in the photo, a new living orchid arrangement that has been extremely popular.
Encinitas Orchids is the product of a love for the orchid and many years of growing them, and a desire to share with others who might also appreciate the extraordinary beauty and diversity of this flower species.
You'll find Don and Encinitas Orchids at several Farmer's Market's (Leucadia, Mercato in Little Italy) as you'll hear in the video, or you can order off his website, Encinitas Orchids, or stop by his showroom at 450 Avenida de las Rosas in Encinitas (Wed and Fri 12 - 5; Tues and Thurs 9 - 12; or by appointment at 760-533-0991)

Jeff, it takes a lot of passion to grow orchids. I hear they take a lot of care. I guess that's what adds to their appeal. I absolutely love them. Very nice post.
