The fate of my POOR orchid! Female
Default

We had that cold snap here in Oregon. The temps were pretty brutal. I had several plants sitting at a vendors for 3 weeks until they could be shipped. Unfortunately, my shipment was delayed several days as the plants sat somewhere in Washington for days according to the tracking. I was so nervous! They finally arrived 2 days before Christmas....

Alive and well. Merry Christmas to me!

Long story short, I stopped selling back in mid November as I didn't want to have my plants freeze before they got to the customers. It was a good move, as this crazy cold weather blew in. I have purchased a couple of plants coming from vendors on the West coast. My temps are pretty moderate, but I keep a good eye on the weather when I expect plants to be shipped to me. Most vendors will hold your plants, just ask.

Oh, and I will never order and have plants shipped around Christmas time again... that was too nerve wracking!! I'm finished buying shipped plants until Spring.
