  Alan Koch owns and operates Gold Country Orchids where he specializes in miniature and compact Cattleya’s along with miniature species.  Alan started growing orchids in 1969 with 3 Cymbidiums given to him by an aunt.  While in college he became interested in other orchids and discovered many would grow outdoors in Southern California. He has moved five times as his orchid obsession has led to the need for more growing space.  With the last move, he purchased 10 acres of land in Lincoln, California for his 250,000 orchids.  He is recognized as an expert in the Brazilian Cattleya alliance and a trend setter in miniature compact and Cattleya breeding.  Alan has been published in the Orchid Digest, the American Orchid Society magazine, as well as many International Publications.  He has also been published in several proceedings of the World Orchid Conference.  He is an internationally known speaker.  He is a past member of the AOS Judging Committee, and the Research Committee, as well as an Emeritus Judge and is Training Coordinator for the California Sierra Nevada Judging Center.  Alan also served two terms on the Orchid Digest Executive Committee and 3 terms on the Board of Directors, as well as two terms as a Trustee for the AOS.  He is currently the First Vice President for the International Phalaenopsis Alliance.  Alan is also well known for the many AOS auctions he has done.

  Alan will have an updated availability list at the end of April.  Any pre-order of 3 or more plants receives a 10 percent discount and orders over $150 receive a 20 percent discount.  The order will be free freight as Alan will bring the plants with him.   All orders are to be sent to Alan’s email, gcorchids@aol.com.  He will confirm the order within 3 days and can invoice the order by Square for convenient payment.
