Yes this is not a light orange, but with the yellow in the middle it looks very nice. Most of the laws for border control are really not worth anything. it only costs a lot of money, but it is worth nothing at all. so that's a shame.
Yes it is a shame. In the USA. they have lots of places to buy orchids, but here we don't have very many growers. I would love to have more choices. Very few sellers in the US will sell to Canada without the expensive papers.
I no wath you mean. There are also not many places who sell seedlings I think. That's the same here in Holland. You can Buy big plants, but seedlings is difficult. So I'm just glad that Ebay exists. Thats a good thing.
Ebay has been handy for me. I used to sell my work at shows for many years, but got we tired of giving up our weekends. Now that I'm on ebay and have an acount, I'm always looking at the orchids. I bought some plants from a Canadian seller years ago, but now there aren't any Canadian sellers. I recently noticed one in Quebec, but he only has a few paphs and such. It's frustrating that the States are so close, yet so far!
Canada is a big country in compare with Holland. Although buying in France and Germany is also no problem. The ones I did buy in Germany at Ebay did arrive in about 4 days. So thats not so bad. It's to bad that the seller in Quebec don't have anything interesting. The distance from France to Canada is a very long way. So I guess it will take a while before they arrive when you order one.
