Sorry for my lack of knowledge but how does orchid sizing work?

I have found several sites advertising "size c plants" but I am little confused as to how this differs from size B and why is there no size A? I have done a quick search but nothing is coming up. Is this a common system

Any help much appreciated.

I have never heard them classified that way. Usually it is seedling, near blooming, previously bloomed, etc. Or they will say young plant that should bloom in a year or two.

I'm afraid I've not heard of this system either. I don't think it's a common one, at least not common internationally.

The websites I've seen this type of sizing on usually list the pot size that the letters equate to somewhere on their websites. You may need to check the pricing/ordering pages on their website/catalogue to find the pricing codes.

Ah, *facepalm, the key is at the bottom of the page. I spent ages looking through the "about us" section and googling. Thanks

Any idea how long I have to wait for "bulb and growth" plants to flower? How large would a plant of this size be (eg, how many leaves etc)?

This is just for common stuff in a local orchid nursery, Zygos, cyms, phals etc
