Orchid Inn order here

The UK can, for whatever reason, be a nightmare as I understand it to bring plants in to. One wrong or incorrectly filled form will see your plants destroyed or heading towards a public greenhouse. The kitchen worktop is slowly filling up now so I HAVE to sort something out but it means I wont be doing too much kitchen work in the near future lol. I'll post pics later today.

Itr's simple, the UK is an island so they are very careful about what goes in. You can bring plants out easily, but not in. I have friends who moved to the UK from the Netherlands, and they had to leave to leave their cat and plants behind because it was an enormous hassle otherwise. I suspect that for bringing orchids it's the same; there's the UK and the rest of Europe!

Very true Camille! lol There is no problem bringing in plants form continental Europe as I do it every couple of weeks or so but to bring them in from anywhere else can be traumatic.

Kelo's already send me their latest plant list. I think I'm going to drool for now, and order in the spring since I'm buying quite a few more plants at upcoming shows,a nd some lights.
