WHERE TO BUY NUN'S ORCHID

[lornaheath]

Oh you've just completely made my day. What a lovely thought. Oh I do feel so Special now.

Thank you very much. What a lovely bloke you are.

That is such a great message to wake up to. It's only 4.40 am here in the UK but I'm not going back to sleep now, I feel too happy.

Big Hugs for you.

You are welcome, I would really love to ship it, but it seems there are just way too many special certificates to get for shipping life orchids, I see it always on the boxes from Hawaii, special stamps from agriculture inspection etc:-( If you are in the orchid business it is of course necessary and worthy, but even we do package forwarding, we do not have customers even asking for life plants, so it would be at no use to us. I still hope you will be able to get one, and I will try to find some seller that ships to UK with less than $500 value order, will keep you posted:-)

When I went to the Orchid Show in Taiwan they had beautiful alba's of this species. Another one to look out for but I would imagine not easy to find.

You know sometimes someone goes above and beyond the call of duty. TOMMYMIAMI is just one such person.

You are a shining example of friendship and willingness to help. I am already Godmother to your two latest offspring. aawwwww

Don't lose any more sleep trying to find ways of getting Orchids to the UK. I watch Border Force and I know how stringent the rules are for importing 'live' and 'foodstuffs' from country to country.

Apart from the cost, I really don't have the room in my little flat for any more Orchids, especially not something as huge as a Nun's Orchid and I certainly don't have the temps to keep such a Beauty.

I am happy to be the surrogate for yours Mister TOMMY and share with you. I am worried that your watching out for me might lead you into temptation, so Stop Looking on my behalf!!

You are Special. THANK YOU.

Ok Lorna:-)
and yes, you are right, I'm kinda person who always try to help as much as possible:-)
Anyway, I will definitely keep you posted about the kids and once they bloom, I'll send pictures, so you can frame some, Godmother:-)))))
I am seriously in some addiction face again, even the fact i received over 20 new orchids within last 2 weeks and i did promise myself NO MORE for now, i did buy another 2 yesterday again, new Dendrobiums:-) I really have to stop, just one more on my list (or 2), habenaria medusae and clamshell, next week in St. Pete orchid farm when I drive to west coast:-) and THAT'S IT:-))))
Have a wonderful weekend

You know Mister Tommy, there are a lot of saying we could quote right now. Like . . . .

"You only live once!"

"A little of what you fancy does you good!"

"Everything comes to him who waits!"

"Life is what you make it!"

"Strike while the iron is hot!"

"Variety is the spice of life!"

"You can't take it with you when you die!"

So get em while you can, enjoy em while you're young enough and don't miss out on a bargain through guilt.

Sooooooo True
that's what I'm trying to explain to my hubby, complete opposite of me, absolutely no green thumb:-) Thanks God I'm still able with all hanging to keep our balcony empty enough for 2 chairs and little coffee table:-)

[lornaheath]

Aaawww, He must be really good at all the other stuff then. You got enuff Orchid knowledge and compassion to sink a ship.

You can't both be Brill!

BTW Loonie, I did see you set up in the house, gorgeous. I know you have not much space, siomaybe few more of Neofinetia's would still fit? they are so cute in their little painted pots with moss all around?

Gone for a quick visit to Uncle Google to see what the heck is a Neofinetia?

OOooohhhhhhhh They're gorgeous too.

Just like little Snowdrops. Aaahhh aren't they nice?

I am making notes of all these things for when I win on the Lottery, the Bingo or the Pools!!
