vendor Virus Policies

[Jmoney]

Thank you for the additions. I think it is only fair that a vendor's virus policy is public knowledge. I really think only a small minority of orchid growers test regularly...seems like vouching for your plants would be good business, but then again I'm not a businessman.

The names you list at the bottom all gravitate to vintage catts (I know Tim sells a lot more genera as well). It seems to me that virus testing is much more established in the classic cattleya community. I see so much more transparency in people who grow the heirloom catts (than, for example, the phal community, which seems like a real free for all). Of course, many of these catt aficionados do grow virused historic cultivars, and generally take precautions to prevent virus spread. If I had another small greenhouse/grow room, I would most likely dedicate that space as well to the virused historics...
