Folks, its unfortunate that such disclaimers are needed. We live in a world where many people are unwilling to verify or evaluate free information presented to them on the internet or take responsibility for their actions. The information presented on this website is to our best knowledge correct, in so far it is based on our experience. As far as growing orchids, it presents general guidelines, based on what had worked for us on the east coast growing indoors un  der lights . Be sure to evaluate the information presented based on your growing experience, location, and study of orchid growing. Any decisions you make about growing or buying your orchids based on what you've read here is entirely your responsibility and yours alone . 

Welcome to argusorchids.net  Here you will find solid original advice and relevant content based on personal experience growing orchids for many years.

All content on this site is original, often imitated elsewhere on the web. We take all photographs oursevles unless otherwsie noted. Most of the photos are of plants we have grown and flowered. Unlike other sites, we will not tell you that masdevallis are warm growing when they are not, we do not confuse phragmipediums and pahiopedilums, nor mislabel dendrobiums photos as phalaenopsis. You will also not find upside down photos of orchids on our website, unless in fact, thery flower upside-down as a few orchids do!

Yassir Islam, the owner, is a former President of the National Capital Orchid Society in Washington D.C. He has won awards for his slipper orchids from the American Orchid Society and has spoken on orchid cultivation. He has also judged slipper orchids at the Tokyo Grand Prix, probably the most prestigious orchid show in the world.

We were formerly argusorchids.com, one of the best orchid boutiques on the web. We lost our .com domain name when it expired and someone else "grabbed" it and are trying to get it back. For now, we are now back online as a hobbyist (.net) resource, in order to continue sharing our valuable orchid photo database and cultural/hybridizing information with you. We no longer sell orchids commercially. Please enjoy your visit and come back often as this site will be frequently updated.
