Orchids..........
Few plants give such great rewards with the correct care. Over the
years I have gleaned out certain varieties that consistently perform in household conditions, and many of the
easiest are offered here. Besides being fairly easy to grow, orchids bloom season can last for months. It is not
unusual to have larger specimen plants bloom for six months! Each orchid has it's own light requirements,
watering schedule, and humidity needs. For the most part our orchids are broken into East and South window
spaces, which is noted below for each orchid. Giving your orchid a pebble tray insures a good range of humidity
for it without building a greenhouse. Complete cultural instructions are included with each orchid. We ship
Spring, Summer, Fall depending on weather. All of our plants are blooming size, some are in spike[about to
bloom], and some are in bloom. We ship 'spiked' and flowering plants first as the orders come in.
