I may be the last member here to find out Parkside Orchids has closed. My daughter in law lives very close to them and she told me today that they have closed. What a shame, I enjoyed shopping there, the owners were so very friendly.
I believe the two ladies that bought it from John and Tom bit off a bit too much for their skill set, and then when one of their spouses became gravely ill, that was the final blow.
I live about 15 minutes from there, and it was indeed, a great loss to the orchid community.
