Putting together a quick domestic order

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

I was toying with the idea of putting together a quick order. Even if what you want is not on the list below please send me an e-mail with what paphs. you might be looking for. This is not an import order but rather the vendor is in the states. Let me tell you about some of the things on this list that interest me:

Armeniacum (which they may be out of)
concolor
leucochilums
fanaticum
dollgoldi
pedro moon

There are two complex that really hold my interest due to the Irish Lullaby parent which usual helps produce round flowers and they are

Irish Lullaby x Sorcer’s Stone
Irish Lullaby x Mountain Meadow, although I must admit I’m not familiar with Mountain Meadow

Some but not all plants have clonal names and I’ve done business with them many time before and they have great plants.

All plants are not in bud and most will be blooming size. They also have things in bud but you only get to pick if they are maudies (which are usually very robust) or anything but maudies I’ve found a few keepers in this group. Tell me what species or cross that may interest you even if it’s not on the above list as they a lot of things to offer.

Now here’s the catch, up until now I always had to buy a min. of 6 plants of any cross or species. However, I do understand that now for a couple dollars more I can get ones and two sees. If I don’t get any response in the next few days, I’ll just place my own order and let it go at that. If I get some takers. I’ll wait until Friday night to place my order. There has been times I’ve placed an order and they are out of what I request and that may happen, however they won’t take it upon them self’s to substitute. If I order by Friday night they would be shipped to me next week and then I would send them on to you. You would only be responsible for the shipping from me to you. Please click on my name and send me an e-mail rather then a Pm as my PM box can get full. Contact me regarding price and your wants.

I googled Pedro Moon and found Pedro's Moon.

Mountain Meadow is Rod McLellan x Aspen Grove, if that helps anyone.

I just wanted to let everybody know that due to the limited response I'll not be placing this order. However I'm thankful to Slipper Talk for letting me try.

I posted to this thread and asked what vendor but my post disappeared!

I have a feeling that if the vendor had been listed with available plants, there might have been more replies. hard to decide if you want to order if you don't know what there is to order - just a thought

Sorry Eric, but I've been taught that you don't give away your sources.

Charles, there was just pages of things to list, so just too many. That's why I said if you have an area of interest just let me know.

looks like Hilo Orchid Farm to me...no one else doing complexes like that.

Too true, discretion is the better part...

gcroz also stated something similar about 'sources'... if you are selling plants yourself, then of course make money and keep it to yourself. if you aren't selling plants, then what is the point about being quiet? unless you repeatedly are denied being able to buy plants because they are sold out to someone else, then there is no logic to it. respectfully submitted, it makes no sense. you would rather that friends here not be able to buy nice plants from a reputable source, if you yourself aren't going to take part in an order? I learned long ago that by being free with assistance, people will often become free in helping you. if someone is the other way, then you will teach others to not want to help you. also, if you really like a vendor, then you will be helping them out by giving them more customers. what if they end up going out of business because they didn't have enough sales, when there were people waiting around to order something, but the word wasn't passed around? that wouldn't help anyone, especially if the firm went under.... also if the firm finds out that you aren't helping them by sending business their way, then they may not be very happy with you, but if you do send more business their way, then they may reward you. I always tell people where I got great things, and tell those people to pass along who it was who referred them. again, respectfully submitted

In a time when so many domestic orchid companies are going under, closing, selling their entire stock, or changing hands, truer words cannot be spoken.

I'm easily confused of late (oldtymers, normal confusion, and 'moving' confusion) but what I got from your initial post was that there was no list but the one posted and just a reference to plants wanted by folks. I took the latter to mean if we gave you a list of our wants you would see what they had.
