Orchid Paradise Blooms In Ridgewood, NJ

RIDGEWOOD, N.J. — Rueben Kim of Paramus can’t stop smiling when he looks at the international array of plants that fill his new Ridgewood shop.

“Orchids are exquisite. They’re nice,” said Kim, the owner of Orchid Hunters on Godwin Avenue. “The more I get to know them, the more intrigued I am.

“There are monkey orchids. They look like monkeys. There are dancing lady orchids and butterfly orchids.”

There also are the popular Phalaenopsis orchids, originally from Taiwan — and Lady’s slippers from California, Cattleya and Grammatophyllum from Hawaii. Miltonia, too, from South America, and many more.
