New World Orchids - Availablility and price list - Orchid Board

Stray59 · #1 03-30-2013, 02:01 PM

Hello everyone -
I have purchased from New World Orchids in the past and have had GREAT experiences with them. Dr Lehr recently returned from Japan and sent me his newest and latest price list. He specializes in Neofinitias, Sophronitis (I have one of his) and other orchids that are grown in Japan commercially. They may seem a little pricey, but you get hand-selected, high quality orchids that he ships from Japan and is glad to tell you about them through email. I hope some find this useful!

New World Orchids
There are sooooo many Sophronitis that I want now! Sigh - I also want to eat again, so the Soph's will have to wait!
I wanted to post the list, but it will not let me copy it - so just go to the site (prices are listed there) and if you request it, he will probably send you a list of your own.

I get that list every year ever since ordering 5-6 years ago. I drool over the list every single time! Maybe this year I'll pre-order for the UK show they go to every June...

Lucky you Camille!
I live in Indiana so Michigan is not THAT far away, but I would only be able to look (not touch or buy!!!) and that just makes me miserable. When I win the Lottery or some unknown relative leaves me a bundle, maybe I will make the trip... Hope you find some great orc's you can get!

I was jut looking at his catalog!! Do you know if his website is up to date as well? Or should I email for the list?

Look at the top of each page. For instance the Sedirea list was updated 3 days ago, the Neo page nearly a year ago. So if it's Neos you're after, you might want to ask for an updated list.

Looks like I won't be ordering unless someone joins me, the minimum order to have the plants shipped from the UK is now $150 (used to be $100), excluding paperwork and shipping costs....

Just got off the phone with Glenn! You two are such enablers! I don't know if I will get any plants from him (I really should just save my money for the SEPOS show) But I am getting some Sphagnum moss from him and he said he will pick out a small attractive pot for 5-10$ for my new Senzai. Super nice guy!!

Glad you liked the post enough to look into it. I did not know he will sell live moss, and I need some. Would you let me know what quantity and price it is once you get it? Or are you saying you are paying 5-10 dollars for a pot of it? I would appreciate it as it is time to repot my Sophronitis coccinea and I would love to have it back on the moss bed it arrived in. Without thinking, I dipped the pot in a fungicide - one that had copper in it. Copper is deadly to mosses, so my little Sophi's are no longer resting on their moss bed! Live and learn - (learn exactly how dumb I can be)! But even though the orc's did not seem to notice, I still want the optimum growing conditions for these little ones - plus it looks great.
Hope you have fun dreaming about them - or looking at them should you decide to buy one!
And I concur - he is one of the nicest vendors I have found in a LONG time. Also very knowledgeable and easy to work with! As an example of his ethics - I ordered a 4N Sophronitis coccinea with 12 shoots - there was a mix up and my order did not get processed right away; so he sent one with about 16 shoots at no charge. You don't find that in a vendor everyday!
Happy hunting and enjoy your upcoming show!

Well thanks for posting! Glenn really is a nice guy and a joy to talk to!

No, I'm talking about dry/dead Sphagnum moss. If I knew where to get live Sphagnum, I would!! Let me know if you find any! It's the same moss you see a lot of places except for this is New Zealand Sphagnum and he has the higher AAAA and AAAAA grades. I'll probably end up getting AAAA. Nicer longer strands than the AAA we see so frequently. If I could afford the AAAAA, you can bet that's what I'd get! But the price difference between 4A and 5A is worthy of note.

When I said $5-10 for a pot, I'm talking about a traditional fancy Neofinetia display pot. He said he would personally hand pick an attractive one that would fit my Senzai!

I also want the long stranded AAAAA sphagnum so now I know where to get some. I will call him and ask about live moss as the pots I got had a really nice mounding growth of moss, just prior to my moss-icide. I will let you know if he shares his live moss or not!
And when you get your pot, let us see it. I also want one, but have been on a tight budget since I had a lower back disc rupture again......I worked a little to long in the oilfield, made some good money, but got a bad back out of the deal.

Age isn't for wusses, but the alternative to aging isn't too alluring either!
Keep us updated!
