Encinitas Orchids was born from a live-long love of flowers, a keen sense of design, a creative and artistic sensibility, and a bit of serendipity - neighbors and friends asking for creations as gifts.
The business just sorta happened - but listen to the video to hear more.
Don Doerfler comes by his creative, artistic talents naturally. How can one avoid it, with both parents being animators - his mother worked for Disney and his father worked for Warner - and a grandmother, Florence Davis, with a well-established reputation in the San Diego art community as an Impressionist and Plein Air painter?
Don's newest orchid creation is a beautiful example of his design esthetic and eye for the beauty of nature - check out the "Drift-ePhyte" in the photo, a new living orchid arrangement that has been extremely popular.
Encinitas Orchids is the product of a love for the orchid and many years of growing them, and a desire to share with others who might also appreciate the extraordinary beauty and diversity of this flower species.
You'll find Don and Encinitas Orchids at several Farmer's Market's (Leucadia, Mercato in Little Italy) as you'll hear in the video, or you can order off his website, Encinitas Orchids, or stop by his showroom at 450 Avenida de las Rosas in Encinitas (Wed and Fri 12 - 5; Tues and Thurs 9 - 12; or by appointment at 760-533-0991)
Don is also an established artist - you'll find him at Painter of Paradise. He is active in the Encinitas arts community and participating in the annual Arts Alive Banner Project - look for this year's banner on the home page of his Painter of Paradise website.

Just because the San Diego weather is milder and less wintry than many other parts of the country doesn't mean you can't get excited about spring and the

A very important distinction between SheaTouch facilities and over 90% of all others is that they have specific processing procedures, high quality assurance standards, and their own (imported from India) manual/mechanical press which eliminates the butter being touched by human hands.
Termites are a common problem here in Southern California and a good number of homes have issues that need to be addressed when the home is sold. Banks seems to get kinda squirrelly about lending money on a home that has termite issues. Go figure. 
In many cases of infestation, the pest control company will recommend tenting in order to eradicate those little buggers. I am not a termite expert and there may be other options available, so ask if it's important to you. But it may be up to the seller not the buyer to decide.
