Haha I wish!!! I'll post some pics a little later!

We don't have a website. But we are contemplating getting one or going the eBay route. With me managing it, which means more hours

right now I am the only employee. My boss, Steve, is retired aside from running this business. It's not a large operation, but all his plants are QUALITY plants! He has over 100 AOS awards and at least 2 are FCC!! We mainly grow compact and mini cattleyas, paphs, dendrochilums, lycastes, and masdevallias. But we have all sorts of odds and ends, he basically order things he likes an only sells things he enjoys.

If you send me a pm with you email, I can see if I can send you a catalog.

I hope you don't spend all your earnings on plants! Sounds like a perfect fit for you. I think I've met Steve at either the Deep Cut show or at the Shore Fest. He does have some nice stuff.
