An Offer of Free Orchids

[peeweelovesbooks]

Hi everyone!!

I'm slightly embarrassed to be posting this, but here it goes.

I recently got it into my head that I could grow Stanhopeas outside here in my limited yard space in Miami. To that end, I ended up purchasing 5 Stanhopea seedlings and 1 large division from the Evil Troy Meyers.

However, I have come to realize that I really cannot offer them the proper cultural conditions, and would like to give the plants a good home.

Therefore, I am offering the plants to anyone here who can take care of them properly and is interested in taking them. I'm not interested in money---call it a gesture of friendship on my part--and a desire to give the plants a good home.

The only catch is that you have to be a REGISTERED member of the OB!!!

The offer is open to anyone until 1pm today EST. Sorry, for U.S. residents only please.

The seedlings are in 2x2 Aircone pots:

1) Stanhopea ecornuta
2) Stanhopea inodora
3) Stanhopea grandiflora
4) Stanhopea tigrina var. nigroviolacea
5) Stanhopea tigrina var. nigroviolacea (a different variety)

The large division is in a 5x5 air cone pot:

1) Stanhopea radiosa.

Just let me know on the OB which one you want and PM me with your mailing address.

Have a great day everyone!



******UPDATE******


Hi everyone.


Just to let you know that your orchids are somewhere in the bowels of the Post Office. They should arrive in 3-4 days.


Please send me a PM when you receive it.

Wow. I wish I wasn't half way around the world now.

Ted, if you think you could grow them, you can have whatever shipped to me and I could hold them for you until you return home. But I wouldn't think we could grow these well here in Idaho? I guess I'm just not familiar with their growing requirements!

[peeweelovesbooks]

Ok Peeps.


You get your stanhopea in the order I receive the PM.

Please email me with a first and second choice.

Thus far,

The radiosa and one nigroviolacea are taken.

Just an update:


The grandiflora, one nigroviolacea and the larger radiosa are taken.

There's still the:

ecornuta
inodora
nigroviolacea




(wink)

[peeweelovesbooks]

Ok Peeps,


The ecornuta has been adopted by another kind member of the OB.


You guys are great and I'm having fun.


So,


I think it's the inodora and one nigroviolacea left.
