Trust Canada Post! I recently ordered from Clouds. I was tracking it and could see it was out for delivery so stayed home all day. Usually parcels come here before or around noon. Well, 10 mins. to 5:00 and I was on the phone trying to get thru to someone in Canada Post when the truck pulled up. He said it was his last parcel of the day!!! And the box was labelled live orchids etc. etc. So he let it sit in a hot truck all day long. Luckily they are potted and Cloud's packs them so well, that no harm had come to them. Yours will be fine too.

Pretty good morning for mail, as long as you ignore all the rain!

I dragged the shelf out of the garage (it was originally going on the porch) and topped it with one of the lamps I use for starting seeds. When I figure out what happened to the other one during my move I'll plug it in too.

I'll also get a tray instead of tea cup saucers lol.

Edit: USPS box is some MSU granules and other things from repotme. Big long box is from Cloud's Orchids.

You should definitely buy an Iwanagara Apple Blossom to that! (known also as Jackfowleiara Apple Blossom)

Mine smells like strawberry milkshake, and they are so hybridized that they are pretty vigorous growers and they bloom so beautifully. <3

Great selection!!

I have a Bc. Nakorpathome Silver from a previous offering of theirs. It bloomed first time this winter and I was very pleased with the blooms!
