Thanks so much for sharing... I find it interesting that they grow some paphs quite dark.. Brachys, for example.. Or maybe its just the photo... What a load of Maudiaes... So tell us what you got...

Thanks for the wonderful tour! It's amazing, the thousands of Paphs and all the Phals spiking in unison.

Thanks for the wonderful tour Hardy! I must echo the sentiments above: :drool::drool::drool:

Thank you guys, I'm glad you liked the post.

Thanks Hardy. Amazing setup. A feast for the eyes. Where were all the multi-florals?

David, I didn't see many multiflorals. I think they don't grow out many seedlings of those types too. Just a personal taste of theirs I guess.

Paphioboy, yes, the brachy grow area was not that bright. They didn't have many of those too btw. Well, I enquired Mr. Gao the owner if he could select a big-sized green maudiae for me and he was about going to do so, but the price was out of my range. I got several cattleyas and few other stuff. But then I bought a couple paph flasks thru mail-order

That's cool! You may want to look thru their online catalogue, I think they also take pre-orders.

Cheers!

Ching Hua was at our show Oct 23 - 24th. Their plants were fabulous. I own a few now.

This was their display at our show. I think all the flowers were cut. I ended up with a bouquet of the oncidiums.

WOW!!! Great pictures!!!!!!! How much do plants cost from the nursery there??? I am with Dot...

 

[hardy]

You're welcome

Hi Thanasis, for mericlones, the price from the nursery is pretty much the same as the wholesale price offered at their website: http://chinghuaorchids.com.tw/

But for some strange reasons, they seem reluctant to sell certain mericlones locally. They are cheap on the USD price list but priced much higher at the farm

For individual plant it can go from a couple bucks to a small fortune
There's a not-for-sale area too, meaning the owner Mr. Gao has to be contacted before the plants can be sold. The owner travels a lot....
