Nice. Did you do an order? Or was there a show?

Agree !!!! Jean

They have great plants and some very reasonable prices. I'll order some plants from them in a couple of months.

Ivan was in town to speak at our society. They are great about pre-orders but also bring lots of plants so both bases are covered. They also ship inside the country if they won't be in your exact locale.

 

[NYEric]

Cool. No Phrags!?

[eOrchids]

Awesome haul, Justin!

I too bought a Phrag warscewiczianum 'Fortuna' from them as well. It has not bloomed though.

 

[Justin]

Yeah i am thinking it will need some patience.

 

[NYEric]

Oops! Sorry, I missed that.

Justin, did your orchid society bring him all the way up from Ecuador?

 

[Justin]

He was already in the region so he made a side trip down to see us and also the Louisville society since we try to share speakers when we can. So basically my strategy for getting.international speakers is to see when they will be in the country then coordinate with other societies in the area to split travel costs..sometimes it means someone has to move their meeting date but it is a win-win for everyone.

Great idea.

Nice plants too

I have often wanted to order, but am unsure of how well plants acclimate to the northern hemisphere. Or is that not such a big a problem?

 

[Justin]

Has not been a problem for me in the past. There might be some shock from the time spent in transit but generally they rehydrate quickly and do fine.

 

[JAB]

Good idea!
Thanks. Hope to make a meeting sometime when I am back home visiting the folks in Columbus.

I just ordered the phrag. fortuna. Any idea how long the petals are supposed to get? Just curious...! (First phrag in a long time.)
