In 1994 we propagated a Cattleya. We saw the first flowers bloom in the spring of 2002. Yes, we had to wait 8 years for the first plants to bloom! But it was a delight: large, well formed lavender flowers with a nice sweet fragrance (picture at right).
We are propagating a few new Phalaenopsis hybrids (parents are illustrated below) but it will take years before some of these new plants bloom. Will these plants carry just one or two small flowers or a good count of large flowers? Will the flowers have good shape and will they present well? Will the colors be vivid or dull? How attractive will they be? Will mature plants produce side branches and delight us with a profusion of flowers?
For a few months, while the seed pod capsule (picture at right) develops we are wondering whether it will carry fertile seeds. Then for a couple of years we will be anxious hoping the plantlets develop in flasks without problem. When finally planted, we’ll have to wait 2 to 3 years before they finally bloom. Orchids do teach us to be patient.
Whether you have become addicted to growing orchids or you just enjoy their flowers while they last, we promise to serve you courteously, with respect and with an obsession for quality and reliability, at fair prices.
You can help us serve you better by keeping in mind the points in the section “Ordering tips”.
Thank you very much for your continued patronage, we are looking forward to serving you again soon.
