In the early 1970s, owners James and Lauris Rose began their orchid careers in the commercial realm, both working for Santa Barbara Orchid Estate. They met and married, eventually purchasing their own nursery across the street from the Orchid Estate in 1987. The inventory at Cal-Orchid is very diverse and reflects the interests of not only the current marketplace, but also many trips made to foreign locales. James has long been known to have a sharp eye for the unusual. They are located on the Pacific Coast in Santa Barbara, two short blocks from the beach. They maintain 25,000 square feet of intermediate temperature controlled greenhouse as well as an additional 25,000 square feet of saran-covered shade area. They offer plants for everything from coastal Southern California gardens, greenhouses to windowsills.

Located on five acres of beautiful coastal California, Santa Barbara Orchid Estate was founded in 1957 by Robert J. Chrisman, a legendary orchid hobbyist. From the beginning the nursery was managed by Paul Gripp who purchased it from the Chrisman family in 1967. Under Paul's guidance the Orchid Estate became one of the world's foremost collectors and propagators of orchid species and hybrids, specializing in outdoor temperature-tolerant varieties. Though now officially retired, Paul continues to work at Santa Barbara Orchid Estate with his daughter, Alice.

Zuma Canyon Orchids, now called Zuma Orchids, has been a staple of the Malibu community since its founding in the early 1970s. What started off as a small family business, led by Amado and Maria Vazquez, has continued to grow into what is now a well-known, trusted and respected company in the Orchid and local community. The current (and new) owners Oli and Ana Alvarado started working at Zuma Canyon Orchids in the 1980s. In 2018, the business was in the process of being sold to another buyer but in the midst of all of this Malibu was struck by the Woolsey Fires. This devastating natural disaster not only impacted several Malibu families and local businesses, but also burned down several of Zuma Canyon Orchids’ structures. During this time, the buyer backed out which gave Oli and Ana the opportunity to make their dream a reality and become new business owners. As of August 1, 2019, Oli and Ana are the new owners of the business, Zuma Orchids, thus keeping the family owned and operated business tradition alive. Zuma Orchids prides itself in providing high end orchid arrangements specializing in phalaenopsis orchids.
