Free Orchids – You Pay Postage
 

I am running out of space and must toss out 5 orchids. If anyone wants them – and will pay postage from Huntsville, AL – let me know within the next 10 days; otherwise they are going in the bin. First come, first served. Pics & care sheets are attached (hopefully). The orchids are identified below. (I would prefer to send all 3 Ambionenses together.)

3 ea Phal Amboinensis

1 ea Pot California Queen 'Red Angel' SM/JOGA X Pot Paradise Rose'Hawaii'

1 ea 23669 Ctna. Why Not Sanguinea (Guaritonia) Gur. aurantiaca X Bro.

First Come, first served! Thanks, ROBB

Hi -
I tried sending PM, but it said you won't or can't accept PM's
So, I tried e-mail, through the board - Did you get that?.

OTOH, I just got your PM, but it won't let me reply - Same message as above.

If you would PM me again, with your e-mail, I will reply from my direct e-mail.
Thanks

The orchids found a new home. Thanks, Knewt!

Thank you !
I'm looking forward to them :~)

I thought I would update this thread with something amazing !

ROBB kindly offered these orchids for the cost of shipping, and I, really just starting out with them, jumped at the chance, of course :biggrin:
So, we arranged it all, and she mailed them Priority Mail.
I mean, Alabama to north Florida - Day or 2, right?

Well, it seems that USPS sat on them for a week, then lost them for a second week, and they finally arrived yesterday!

We were both very doubtful that anything good would happen, but lo-and-behold, they were all alive and looking pretty good, after 2+ weeks traveling around the country in a box in the dark.
A great example of the resiliency of these plants, I think.
And, a testament to her careful packing job - A happy ending, all around !

A few orchids made it from Asia to Europe in the holds of wooden ships.
