ORCHID DYNASTY was established by Shelly Huynh and Clinton Lewis in 2001 as an oasis of Exotic Plant Culture and Modern Floral Design. We are located in the beautiful Wasatch, right here in the high desert of Salt Lake City.
The husband-and-wife team began as a small specialty shop with a reputation for high quality and impeccable artistry. In April 2019 they ushered in a new era by opening their forever home in the Granary District at 365 W Harvey Milk Blvd. Here, Orchid Dynasty has blossomed into a destination for those who appreciate the artistry and beauty of plants and flowers.
Our Mission
At Orchid Dynasty, we believe in the power of plants and flowers to capture and express life’s most meaningful moments—whether they bring joy, offer comfort in grief, or celebrate milestones. Inspired by Eastern traditions, we approach each design as a living work of art, paying close attention to color, line, and texture to create something truly unique.
Our promise is to work only with the finest quality materials, always striving for harmony between nature’s beauty and the vessels that display it. Blending time-honored techniques with modern aesthetics, our goal is to create one-of-a-kind pieces that inspire wonder and forge a deep connection between people and the natural world.
The Greenhouse at Orchid Dynasty
Clinton Lewis started growing orchids and other exotics in the 1990's and soon found his passion in Orchid species cultivation. With over 60 awards from the American Orchid Society, including over 15 Cultural Awards, 10 Show Trophies and A Silver Certificate for display, our focus remains on Orchid Species cultural and breeding.
Our 3,000-square-foot greenhouse is a thriving ecosystem where we cultivate a wide variety of orchid species, tropical plants, succulents, and more. With custom microclimates designed to replicate various natural environments, we propagate rare and unique species from warm, intermediate, and cool climates.
Originally built in the 1970s as an industrial space, the greenhouse was retrofitted in 2017 with modern structural support and five-wall polycarbonate insulation. Using evaporative cooling, natural gas heating, and a high-pressure fogging system for humidity control, we maintain optimal growing conditions year-round.
We offer personalized appointments exclusively for hobbyist orchid collectors, allowing you to explore our collection and receive expert advice tailored to your needs. These sessions provide in-depth care tips and specialized buying guidance to help you grow and expand your orchid collection.
In addition to orchids, we offer custom potting supplies, our special potting media, and our proprietary fertilizer, "Clean and Dirty," to support your growing needs.
