Avoid
disappointment - please read this column!
Four
things you need to know about ordering orchids:
1 - Gift orders: Once you have selected the orchid
please notice that when you arrive at the page that says "Check
Out Time," you will need to choose the SECOND selection, where
it is noted that you may type in the recipient's name, address,
phone, plus a gift message. Fed
Ex requires a street address, not a P.O. Box.
2 - We ship all orders by Fed Ex. Orders received by
10 AM Pacific time can usually
be sent out that very day!
But let's be specific: ordes received after 11 AM Friday will
go out the following Monday. We do not ship Saturday or Sunday.
Second
day (free delivery) orders must be received by 10 AM Wednesday
or we will have to wait to send them the following Monday.
We
do offer Saturday delivery, for an additional $10.00. We do
not offer Sunday delivery. See Detailed Purchase.
3 - If you desire delivery on
a specific date please include this date in the special
instructions box in the shopping cart area along with your
gift message.
4
- In the unlikely event that the plant arrives damaged we
can put in a claim; you must notify
us immediately! We pack our orchids with great care
and we ship them with the best courier.
Others may have cheaper shipping by parcel post, or regular
mail but that orchid is sitting in a dark box for too many
days with no light or water.
Quick
Buy
lets you make the fastest decision possible. We select the
finest orchid of the type requested and ship it overnight
in the continental U.S. In short, "What
a great orchid! Send one!"
Detailed Purchase allows you to select color of flower,
style of decorative container, and offers various delivery
options.
 Most
orchids come from climates similar to those where humans evolved,
JUST LIKE OTHER HOUSE PLANTS! While some are indeed difficult,
those offered here should do well in most houses, blooming
once to several times per year for many years to come.
Check this section again for more tips.
Ladyslipper
orchids do trap insects, but they don't eat them; instead,
they get the insects to pollenate them, without providing
any nectar!

These
Cloud Forest orchids are now being bred to grow
and rebloom well as house plants. They come in
a variety of colors and combinations of form,
from the well known yellow dancing lady to a wide
spectrum of colors and shape combinations. The
flowers generally last about 6 weeks. These blooming
orchids need bright indirect light, and to be
kept moist but never sitting in water. They rebloom
when they complete the next new growth.

For
Spring and summer, we're also offering the golden
Spider Orchids - these are very nice plants
and often rebloom in the summer!
