Epiphytes in the Concrete
Jungle
Michael Riley
Before "green walls" became cool and trendy, Michael
Riley set out to free his epiphytic plants from the
constraints of their proverbial horticultural pots. The
“epi” in epiphyte, became “upon” the walls of his New
York City apartment where he grows a multitude of
aroids, gesneriads, orchids, begonias, bromeliads and
most anything else that finds this a comfortable place
to “hang out”.
Michael Riley has studied horticulture and
growing plants for over fifty years. He has been a
member of Indoor Garden for over thirty years, judges
at the Philadelphia Flower Show and works with his
friends at the Ecuagenera nursery in Ecuador
exhibiting and selling orchids and other tropical plant
material worldwide.
Doors open
at 6pm. Plant Sale 6:40pm. Program begins at 7:10pm
