This is such a Great idea. Especially for anything you really liked at first, but then things change and adapt... I'll check and see if I have anything running around that might be small enough to ship for 5 bucks. I'll keep an eye out for anything interesting.

Oh! Not orchids, but I have a couple small Sarracenia purpurea (hardy pitcher plant) off shoots looking for a good home ;)

I'm down for trades.... I'll put a list together tonight!

Hey Keithrs, I'm interested in your Angraecum sesquipedale and the Aerangis mystacidii if anything of mine looks interesting for that trade.

Ya trading is really fun, it's a great way to meet people with similar interests and feed that addictions hahaha.

For anybody on this forum I am in Hawaii and just about everywhere they sell an orchid called the Hawaiian Bamboo Orchid or Arundina bambusifolia. They grow like bamboo and the canes are like identical! I am buying them and since they are cleared to be legal to transport I am gonna be bringing back a whole bunch of them. If anybody would like a little plant I could bring them back and either trade/sell them to you guys. They are super cheap like $5 for 2 plants so I wouldn't rip anyone off, just looking to get a few new orchids or sell them for what I got them for since you guys have been so nice and helped me out a ton of times. Send me a private message or reply to this forum and I'll buy as many as u guys want.

Aloha from Hawaii!

Hey... I sent you a pm as you posted this :rofl:.... I'll also take couple pieces of Arundinas too.

What are your growing conditions?

I just put a sticky on this thread. It'll be easier to find and stay on top!
Wonderful thread guys, keep it going!!

Although this sounds like a great idea on the surface, I hope everyone is making a concerted effort to be sure the plants they put up for trade, sight unseen to the other party, are free of virus, especially the Cym BBs and divisions. :twocents: Sorry to put out a warning here, but virus is rampant in many genera out there in the public trade and passing it on to a clean collection is way too easy!

True, thanks for the warning CYM lady. I know that there are virus's out there and I have recently tested this exact plant for CMV and Odontog. Ringspot virus and it came up negative for both! :) so I know I'm good and I'll for sure look out for odd looking plants. Thanks for the concern and that's a really good point.

Anybody else up to participate? Me and keithrs are making a nice trade and those Hawaiian bamboo orchids are still up for offer!

Hi, just in case
Trades only between USA members, or we can make intercontinental trades??
