Possible Importation of Terrestrial Orchids from Europe.

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Hi, everybody. Thanks to Blooming Aussie's recommendation, and in response to the shutting down of exportation of orchids from Australia, as well as having a couple of people expressing some interest - I have contacted Dr. Heinrich Beyrle for a possible group order of terrestrial orchids.

The excellent news is:

1. He does export to the US.

2. The fees for shipping, CITES, and phytosanitary papers are extremely reasonable.

However...

Each plant is numerically priced at average prices for orchids that many Americans are accustomed to seeing for blooming sized plants - except the currency is in Euros.

Which means...

1. You must take into consideration the current currency exchange rates between the USD and the Euro.

*** currently the exchange rate is: 1 Euro = 1.22 USD ***

2. While you get more bang for your buck in terms of shipping, CITES, and phytosanitary costs, it may be more difficult to order large quantities of plants.

If anybody is interested, the price list is on Dr. Beyrle's website at:

Anybody interested may send me a pm and we'll start organizing the order, then take it from there.
