We are not particularly good at handling our orchids. We (or I) have successfully destroyed about 2/3 rds of the accumulation. We now have about 80 or so left.
My wife would like to procure about 20 or 30 healthy blooming size cats, dens, and phals. Rather than singular exotics, we need sturdy plants that are not too difficult to get to bloom, although in the past, blooming has not been a problem for us.
we are examining options and availability's at parkside, owens, hausermans, carter & holmes, & carmela.
Is there anyplace that others would recommend?

How large is your greenhouse? We've been talking about getting a second GH of 12X20'.
I never could get my cat to bloom so gave it away.
Can't help there as I got all mine locally.

I might have some very inexpensive options for you. A local grower (very good) is going out of business and I'm probably going to end up with most of their remaining stock. Contact me through the website (below).

You... Or anybody that wants some very nice plants cheap. Just trying to help out a friend of mine who will be sorely missed when she finally closes her doors. Anything I can sell for her is something I won't end up tripping over in my greenhouse! *grin*

Is there a list there with pics of what you or she is selling? I found a page with prices and some pics.... is that it? It's a bit confusing.

It is confusing even to me... There is no list that I know of. On my website I am selling a few of her plants that I picked up last weekend. That would be the Dichea glauca, B. digbyana, Schom. wendzellii (or some reasonable spelling thereof), L. anceps, and C. skinneri alba. Each one has a picture. And yes, I'm keeping at least one of each of those, I'm not stupid... *grin*
There are lots of other plants that I didn't buy last weekend. I think most of the species are gone (I took them, nyah!!). But a lot of big cattleya hybrids and phals. And after this weekend (open house and big sale), there might not be much left. I'll probably go back over there after this weekend, and take most of the remainder. I'll fill up the aisle and stack them and whatever, and put them outside for the summer when it gets nice. Those are the plants I'd really like to move, since I don't have space for what I have already... Hence, they will be dirt cheap. And dirt cheaper by the dozen.
Now, if anybody has a hankering for really big oncidinae, I need to move a few hundred to make space for the insanity mentioned above. Dirt cheapest by the truckload on those.
Making sense now?
