Hausermann's sale!
Hi All,
I don't know if anyone has posted this yet, but Hausermann's has their annual sale going on with 20% off all orchids from now to August (?)
I've never ordered from them before, so I am so excited to say I just ordered two Cattleyeas.
One is the Blc. Chia Lin 'Shinsu #1' and a C. Bob Betts!!!!  |

I just received two plants from them about 2 weeks ago--first order. They were much more than I expected (the catalog descriptions leave something to be desired) Excellently packaged. Health all around. As these things go, postage was not outrageous.

I got my first mail-order orchid from them many years ago. They are a little pricey sometimes, but the plants are always very large. Splurge and upgrade to a bigger pot size - it'll be worth it.

Royal, I got the Chia Lin in a 4" pot, but the Bob Betts is in a 8.5" pot. Holy moly, I've never gotten one that big, but I've always wanted a white Catt. and that is the one that picked me!  You are right, they are pricey for many, but they have some good deals as well. I had picked out 5, but I had to narrow it down. The sale helped with shipping costs. |

Oh, you just wait. An 8.5 inch pot from them is going to be a huge plant! It's amazing that they can even pack and ship one that size. You'll see...

I took advantage of Hausermann's 20% off sale last year at this time and purchased 3 Phal violacea crosses .. their medium was a little funky (so consider repotting) but overall, the BS were large and NBS medium sized and healthy... the BSs bloomed for me without any bud blast and I look forward to this year's flowers .. ( Aaaah, violacea! ... Oh, the fragrance  )
For the size and the condition of these orchids, I found them to be worth the money  |

I've bought many from them and never received a bad plant, and the Sharry baby I got was nearly specimen size. I guess I going shopping.

I agree with Dorothy...you should repot your purchases as soon as you receive them. Other than that, their orchid plants are great for the price you pay.
