For as long as orchid hybrids have been made, breeders have been naming them after prominent women of the day. Chadwick & Son Orchids has named and presented namesake cattleyas to nineteen consecutive First Ladies. First Ladies and Their Orchids: A Century of Namesake Cattleyas tells the story of these nineteen hybrids and the First Ladies they were named after, from Woodrow Wilson’s second wife, Edith, who coveted “canaries, bourbon, and orchids,” through Doctor Jill Biden, who lives just minutes from the Chadwick home in Wilmington, Delaware.

Arthur Andrew "A. A." Chadwick was a feature writer for the American Orchid Society for over fifty years. His passion was cattleyas, having been raised during the corsage era of the 1940's. Art was an accomplished hybridizer who planted his own seed on the kitchen table using a pressure cooker and glass beakers. He tended to his sizable orchid collection every day in two redwood greenhouses that he built by hand. His first book, The Classic Cattleyas, sold out and is now in its second printing.
Arthur Everett Chadwick is President of Chadwick & Son Orchids Inc in Powhatan, Virginia. He founded the orchid company in 1989 with his father who had been growing orchids since 1943. Chadwick's operates 12 greenhouses, two retail stores in Richmond, Virginia, and boards over 13,000 orchids for clients. Art has the distinction of naming cattleya hybrids after the wives of the six most recent U.S. Presidents and personally presenting the flowers to most of the honored recipients.
