Hello from Duckitt Nurseries, Darling, South Africa
Dear Mateo and other Orchid Enthusiasts
Duckitt Nurseries produces Cymbidium cut-flowers for the Export Market, and also produces Cymbidium, Cattleya, Ansellia, Disa, Oncidumnia, Polystachya, Angraecum, Zygopetalum and several other types for the Local potplant market.
With regards to Bartholina, we did succesfully cultivate B. burmanniana and B. etheliae a few years ago.
They are however difficuly to propagate and especially tricky to deflask.
Since we are a Commercial Nursery, we concentrate on the varieties that "pay their bills"
Our nursery is open to the public every 1st Saturday of the months May-Nov from 09h00-12h00.
We also have our own annual Orchid show at Oudepost farm from 18-21 Sept 2008 from 09h00-17h00.
Happy Growing!
