Order up From Carmelas

[RJSquirrel]

Boss's Birthday August 27th is the Boss's Birthday. To celebrate this special day we will select 27 plants in 4 inch pots for $130.00. Some of the plants might be in spike or bud. Free shipping. Happy Birthday. No this is not a commercial just passing on what I think is a damn good deal anyway you trim it down. Carmelas historically always has great plants. More on the hybrid side than I like but I need some fillers. I need some blooms too !!! 27 plants on the way so 13 must die this week!!!

I just cant pass this one up

Post pics when they get here.

Carmela's is one of my favorite vendors. They always have a booth at the Fort Lauderdale Orchid Show and I buy a couple of their orchids every year.

the catt hybrids lean towards the compact w/lots of flowers and color. I know they are clearing some benches for the next blooms and Ill take some bench clearing plants. They have been at our OS the past 2 years Ive been there and after the show they dont have anything left but the trash to pick up . They sell the blooming orchids out day 1. Then Day 2 all us O.S. orchid vultures come out to pick the bones clean looking for the bargains!!! ...
We use them a few times a year for the raffle tables at the OS meetings and I usually get a few plants off that too
Lots of Carmelas orchids in Houstown...

I remember the first time I ordered from them -- it was Christmas, and I really wanted orchids. Someone on this forum mentioned how she received 12 plants for about $64, so I went ahead and ordered. I received a dozen beautiful plants for about 5 bucks each. I had trouble sleeping that night, LOL.

nice deal. I did take a look but I don't need that many at this time. There no way I can deal with that many different kinds. I'm just trying not to kill the few kinds I do have. Can't wait to see pics.
