Photograph article dated October 14, 1961 partially reads, "Many a horticulturist might attribute his success to a 'green thumb,' but one Valley orchid grower claims her prize winning flowers are the result of a 'green head.' In the past 12 years, Mrs. George Dames, 230 E. Orange Grove Ave., Burbank, has applied both her head and her hands to growing orchids, and what started out as a weekend venture has turned into an international business." Photograph caption reads, "From weekend venture to international business - Mrs. George Dames, Burbank, displays orchids in her greenhouse."
