Barrita Orchids is co-owned and managed by Scott, Geoff and Angela Barrie.

Barrita is a commercial wholesale orchid growing business supplying quality potted plants to K-Mart and Big W stores throughout New South Wales as well as flowers and plants to markets and florists Australia wide.

The aim of Barrita is to produce high quality cut flowers and potted orchid plants and to develop new varieties.

Barrita has a well established reputation for its cymbidiums with almost fifty years of operation. In the last decade Barrita has established a world class breeding program for varicosum Oncidiums, gaining many awards and taking this style of Oncidiinae to new heights.

In addition to the complex breeding programs of cymbidiums and oncidiums Barrita has made significant advancements in the commercialization of Sarcochilus. This program has produced outstanding results in the refining of the genus.

Both Scott and Geoff Barrie are Australian Orchid Council Judges and Scott now travels Australia-wide giving presentations which aim to bring the experience of modern commercial growing to the amateur orchid enthusiast in a relaxed and enjoyable way.
