Hello,

AWZ Orchids is planning to send a shipment to the US in mid May to coincide with the Redland International Orchid Festival in south Florida and is accepting orders for shipment to customers or delivery at the show.

A current list of seed-grown plants, including ordering instructions, is available at:

AWZ - Price List - USD - JUN-2023- (Photos)-(v2 - Redland) - All.pdf - Google Drive

A Special Plants list of select divisions is available at:

AWZ - SPECIAL PLANTS LIST - USD - MAY-2023- (Photos)-(v2 - Redland).pdf - Google Drive

Current availability of seed-grown plants for shipment to the US also can be found on the AWZ website at

AWZ Orquideas – Orquidario

To place an order, select the plants that you'd like to purchase. Please note that the website has been updated, and you no longer need to create an account to place an order.

Alternatively, you may place an order by sending a plant list to me at awzorchidsusa@gmail.com or rkaufmann@gmail.com.

Prices are in US dollars and include all the costs of sending the plants from Brazil to your mailing address in the US. After the plants arrive and pass inspection, we'll sort and send them to their final destination as quickly as possible. For orders of $100 or more, shipping by USPS Priority Mail will be included, and there will be no charges beyond the plant prices on the list. If you're looking for any plants that are not on the list or the website, please e-mail me, and I'll inquire as to whether those are available.

If you're interested in purchasing plants from either of these lists, please submit your order by Saturday, April 8. Some plants, especially those on the Special Plants list, tend to sell out quickly, and I recommend placing orders as soon as possible.

Plants will be shipped to the US in mid May. An invoice showing the plants to be shipped and the total cost will be e-mailed to you 3-4 weeks before the shipment is sent, and payment will be due before the plants are packed for shipment to the US. The preferred method of payment is a personal check sent to me, but other options such as Zelle, Venmo or PayPal may be used as well. For PayPal payments, an additional charge (usually 4-5%) will be added to the invoice total to cover the fees that PayPal charges.

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Thanks!

Ron

I can confirm plants are great! My first order of AWZ plants just came in yesterday (I believe it was from the last list). Bare-root, very healthy, and I even got 2 bonus plants because a few seedlings were stuck together!

Well... my most sincere apologies... lol
I do not post growers details willy nilly. Only growers that I have purchased from, that have quality plants, fair prices, prompt customer service an also have a variety of plants that are not easy to find domestically. Redlands and Tamiami orchid festivals are the only two major shows that I attend and find it worth while to let all here have the opportunity to possibly find that plant that they have been searching high and low for. I carry a list of what I'm looking for each time I go and usually can knock a few items off the list on each trip.

Happy shopping.

Same here. I only have one AWZ plant in my collection (C. labiata rubra) and I love it. Now it will be expecting a lot of company from its homeland.
