I found 'em! I found 'em! Tall Cym pots!!!
 

Every once in a while, I like to stroll around in a store named Tuesday Morning. They often have some really cool orchid pots...cheap!

Stopped in yesterday and found two 8 inch tall pots with saucers...for $4.99!

I did an online search for TVP Pottery (the maker) and they do have distributors in the U.S! :dance:

This link shows you what they say is a 7" pot for $13.98 (which is what the Tuesday Morning's pots had as their origianl price). I measured mine and it's 8" tall and 6 1/2" across and it's nice and heavy :nod:

MD CHINA - 7" Oyster Orchid Pot

If you have a Tuesday Morning near you, go take a look...it's the kind of place that doesn't always have the same stuff...hit and miss

:goodluck:

The Cym in this picture is Cym Seaside which I got at June's Orchid Estate :cloud9:

nice looking pot

You might not have been a member when we were all on a search mission for a tall orchid pot. It was an ongoing discussion for a long time...and I got very excited when I saw them! (/udb)

Um.....I have two terra cotta pots about that size (mayyyybe just a little smaller, no more than an inch smaller) that are the same shape/height. Have one hole in the bottom, no other slots.
If someone wants to pay shipping, I'd be happy to send them.

ETA: I lied, after second glance, the ones I have are maybe 2/3 to 3/5ths that size. But still same proportions.


Awesome plant stand btw!

Thanks :)

Funny story behind that stand...a few years ago, a mutual friend of mine and Linda R was downsizing her collection and she was kind enough to offer many great plants to the both of us. When we got to the candy store..no, no, I mean to Trudy's house :) we were awed. She gave us both a LOT of really nice chids and then threw this stand into the mix...but there was only one stand and two of us so we tossed a coin :nod: Linda won :)

After a year or two of it sitting at her house and it not being used, she gave it to me...took two years but it's mine :evil:

It even got varnished at her house! Thanks Capt Larry :D

:rofl:

Thank you
 

Been hunting for two cymbidium pots forever. Not plastic but a nice ceramic to drop the orchids in (in their plastic homes). Your's look great, thanks. I'll try to locate them on the web. No "Tuesday" whatever here in NorCal.

Joyce:bowing

FYI - Tuesday Morning's in Redding, Chico, Sacramento area and the SF bay area. :)

:clap:

I was actually thinking about taking a ceramics class just so I could make and glaze my own orchid pots. However, time doesn't really permit for this endeavor. Not a whole lot of room for electives in the semesters to come. :)

Yup, I know the feeling, Carl :nod:

A few months back, laura caught part of an episode of martha Stewart's TV show and it happened to be a piece on making your own pots...it was an odd mix of cement, perlite and something else :scratchhead: and she called me right away.

:dance: "yay! let's do this one day!!!"...and we're both still waiting for "one day" to come :(

Now that I'm writing this I think I might have an orchid pot making session when the girls are here on Saturday...after we get back from the sale at Louis DelFavero's place! (/udb)
