美国 E.F.G. Orchids兰花公司 – 佛州DeLand五代家族兰花与热带植物苗圃

E.F.G. Orchids（E.F.G. Orchids Incorporated）是 Hausermann 家族于 1939 年在美国创立的兰花与热带植物零售苗圃，总部位于佛罗里达州 DeLand。E.F.G. 三字母取自 Erwin、Fred、Gus 三代家族成员姓名缩写，初创目标是为全球花店、活动承办方与婚礼策划者供应卡特兰（Cattleya）切花胸花；第五代 Quinton Hausermann 已在 2017 年加入，主攻 Philodendron 与 Anthurium 杂交育种。1960 年代第三代 Ronald、George Sr.、Erwin Jr. 与 Kenneth Hausermann 加入后，将公司方向转向培育更大、更具香气的新品种卡特兰，使 E.F.G. 成长为全美最大的卡特兰切花批发商之一；其经典杂交命名包括 Cattleya Clark Herman、Lc. Everett Dirksen、Blc. Ronald Hausermann 与 Phalaenopsis Wm. Kistler。1990 年第四代 Ingrid、Carl、George Jr. 及其夫人 Paula 加入，公司同年首次向零售市场开放兰花植株销售；1999 年 George Jr. 与 Paula 迁居佛罗里达 DeLand 建设新温室，并于 2002 年关闭伊利诺伊州业务整体南迁。2011 年翻新温室对公众开放零售参观，目前暂停在线销售。

品种与温室：从兰科到天南星科的多元收藏

E.F.G. Orchids 温室内的收藏远超传统兰花范畴。除主营卡特兰（Cattleya）、蝴蝶兰（Phalaenopsis）、石斛兰（Dendrobium）、文心兰（Oncidium）、万代兰（Vanda）、兜兰（Paphiopedilum）、鹤顶兰（Phaius）、香荚兰（Vanilla）与米尔顿兰（Miltonia）等传统兰科属外，温室还系统收藏天南星科（Aroids）的龟背竹（Monstera）、绿萝蔓绿绒（Philodendron）、花烛（Anthurium）、海芋（Alocasia），以及球根海棠（Begonia）、非洲紫罗兰（African Violet）、蕨类（Ferns）、多肉与仙人掌（Succulents and Cacti）、苦苣苔科（Gesneriads）、食虫植物（Carnivorous plants）、猪笼草（Nepenthes）、蝙蝠花（Bat Plants）、凤梨科（Bromeliads）与空气凤梨（Tillandsia）等稀有异国品种。植株大多由 E.F.G. 自种子、扦插苗或组培苗扩繁。

杂交育种：四代家族积累的命名种库

E.F.G. 的核心竞争力来自四代家族积累的杂交育种项目。除卡特兰时代留下的经典命名外，第四代 George Jr. 以鹤顶兰（Phaius）与兜兰（Paphiopedilum）杂交闻名；第五代 Quinton 主导的 Philodendron 与 Anthurium 杂交近年推出 Anthurium ‘Titan Fingers’、’Crystal Colossus’、’Titanervium’，以及 Philodendron（Verrucosum x ‘Red Emerald’）’Kipuka Emerald’、’Verrubescens’、（Majesty x Jose Buono）’Elven Magic’、（Giganteum x Billietiae）’Jungle Giant’、（Jose Buono x Billietiae）’Billie Buono’、（Crassinervium x Verrucosum）等多个新命名种。公司同时正在设计一座 6400 平方英尺的金字塔形保育温室，目标是为访客营造沉浸式的热带丛林参观体验。

配套零售店 The Jungle Outpost

除温室植物零售外，E.F.G. Orchids 还在温室内设附属零售店 The Jungle Outpost，由 George 与 Quinton 共同管理，售卖配套花盆、栽培介质、缓释肥、液体肥及植株护理用品。该店既是参观温室时的延伸购物点，也是公司向多品类家庭园艺市场扩展的桥头堡；店名”丛林前哨”呼应 E.F.G. 正在规划的金字塔形保育温室”丛林探险”主题。

E.F.G. Orchids (E.F.G. Orchids Incorporated) is a family-run retail orchid and tropical plant nursery in DeLand, Florida, USA, founded in 1939. The name “E.F.G.” comes from the Hausermann family — Erwin, Fred and Gus — and the company was originally founded by Carl D. Hausermann and his son Erwin Hausermann Sr. to supply Cattleya orchid cut-flower corsages to florists, brokers, event managers and wedding planners worldwide. In the 1960s the third generation steered the company toward breeding larger, more fragrant Cattleya varieties for the cut-flower trade, making E.F.G. one of the largest wholesale Cattleya cut-flower producers in the United States. Registered hybrids include Cattleya Clark Herman, Lc. Everett Dirksen, Blc. Ronald Hausermann and Phalaenopsis Wm. Kistler. In 1990 the fourth generation opened the firm to retail orchid-plant sales for the first time; in 2002 the Illinois operation closed and E.F.G. was fully established in DeLand, Florida. Fifth-generation member Quinton Hausermann joined in 2017, and the renovated greenhouse reopened to the public in 2011. Online sales are temporarily paused while greenhouse capacity is expanded.

Collections: Orchids and Beyond

The E.F.G. greenhouse holds a far broader collection than conventional orchid nurseries. In addition to its flagship orchid genera — Cattleya, Phalaenopsis, Dendrobium, Oncidium, Vanda, Paphiopedilum, Phaius, Vanilla and Miltonia — the nursery systematically curates aroids (Monstera, Philodendron, Anthurium, Alocasia), Begonia, African Violets (Saintpaulia), ferns, succulents and cacti, gesneriads, carnivorous plants (Nepenthes, etc.), bat plants, bromeliads and tillandsias. Most house plants are propagated on-site from seeds, liners or cuttings, and the team is actively expanding greenhouse space to better showcase the hundreds of varieties in cultivation.

Hybridisation: Four Generations of Named Cultivars

The core of E.F.G.’s identity lies in its multi-generational hybridisation programme. Beyond the classic Cattleya-era names such as Cattleya Clark Herman and Blc. Ronald Hausermann, fourth-generation breeder George Jr. is renowned for his Phaius and Paphiopedilum hybrids. The fifth-generation breeder Quinton has recently released Anthurium ‘Titan Fingers’, ‘Crystal Colossus’ and ‘Titanervium’, as well as a series of Philodendron crosses including (Verrucosum x ‘Red Emerald’) ‘Kipuka Emerald’, ‘Verrubescens’, (Majesty x Jose Buono) ‘Elven Magic’, (Giganteum x Billietiae) ‘Jungle Giant’, (Jose Buono x Billietiae) ‘Billie Buono’ and (Crassinervium x Verrucosum). A 6,400-square-foot pyramid-shaped conservatory greenhouse is currently in design, intended to immerse visitors in a tropical jungle experience.

The Jungle Outpost Annexe

Alongside the greenhouse collections, E.F.G. operates an on-site retail annexe called The Jungle Outpost, managed by George and Quinton. The store stocks pots, growing media, slow-release and liquid fertilisers, and a range of plant-care accessories for the home gardener, functioning as both a natural extension of the greenhouse visit and a stepping stone for E.F.G.’s expansion into the broader houseplant market. The store’s name — “jungle outpost” — echoes the pyramid conservatory’s planned “jungle adventure” visitor experience.

Visit and Hours

The E.F.G. greenhouse is located in the historic district of DeLand, Florida, and is open to public retail visits Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (local Florida time, closed on major U.S. holidays). For current directions, retail stock and visiting hours, visitors are encouraged to consult the official site directly; wholesale cut-flower and event enquiries can also be submitted via the contact page on the official website.
