The lengths we (and our friends) go to for orchids

I wasnt asking for anything too special as we dont have ANY selection here, so I said "just get me some babies....nothing too big or it wont be OK to ship"....after that I trust her....only a $100 budget

Hmmm, this sounds interesting, care to fill us in?

[Yukonphal]

I applied for Import permits for flasks. Applied for one for Thailand and one for Mexico....havent been approved yet so I dont know if the information I was given by Wildlife was correct...will know in 3-4 weeks

[FairyInTheFlowers]

Ok, sounds interesting! Do you have any particular types of orchids you have in mind?

[Yukonphal]

LOL purty ones LOL
I dont really have a preference....I am partial to Catts just because winter here is so long and dark and their flowers are sooooooo flashy
Iam going to have to put lights in anyway so I thought I would try Bamboo orchids as well as some Myrmecophylia (bad spelling?) and some others...I'm lucky enough to have cathedral ceilings that are 12ft in some places so big n tall is ok

[FairyInTheFlowers]

Cool! Well, I hope everything works out!

[Yukonphal]

Thanks Blazing...if nothing else I will have stuff that I cant get here...even if I could get it if I lived anywhere else in the country LOL

Hahaha, I have both my arms covered in tattoos and I'm the only one in my Socitey (at least that I know of). It's pretty funny. Most asume I'm not that into orchids.

Bamboo orchids and myrmecophila are very impressive orchids. Most usually have long spikes (4-6 feet). However, some myrmecophilas have shorter spikes (around 2 feet).

Good luck with getting your orchids. I want to see pictures when you get your seedlings.

If you are looking for healthy plants that tend to be trooper like you can send an order via cloudsorchids. Very pretty orchids!
