$2.00 flower from lowes

[OCRC_Dir_China]

Like I said; it is common in China to see it traded as Phal. Brother Sara Gold ‘F623’ (Phal. Sara Lee x Phal. Taipei Gold) also seen in a mini.
Now in China many orchids can have up to a dozen trade names; don’t believe it, try some research.
And like I said; it is very common in all flower markets in China and yes I did see it at many of the flower markets in Taiwan flower markets.
I am into my eight year in China and I can tell you that many Asian orchid producers only see money, and have almost no knowledge of orchids, they just have the funding and others do their work; and profit is the only reason they are in the business.
Now as for Taiwan; I was not impressed at all; with the orchid labs that I visited, making clones of clones with viruses parents knowingly and selling them, unfortunately this practice has also starting to appearing in mainland China.
I have been approached dozens of times by certain parties asking my wife, if I would work with them and propagate orchids for commercial purposes/profit. But they want the product from seed/tissue to a blooming size plant in under a year, now does this sound rational or conceivable?
Sorry I don’t have much time to put toward this topic, I am preparing my long awaited R&R trip to go see my grandchildren in NC. I have to renew my visa because it’s due again and in need of extra pages, travel to get my airline tickets, shopping for gifs, and leaving instructions for the plant care, spend some time with the wife and our Chihuahua. For the next month or so I will be off OB, I can only give the OCRC current work and our partnership any time and of course Chili dogs, not available in Northeast China.
