Default Trading orchids Canada

Join The Orchid Source (www.orchidsource.com). It probably has the highest
percentage of Canadian growers than anywhere.

Is there anyone here from Canada? I am in Calgary. I have several VERY
large plants that have or will be divided and I would like to trade my
extras for something interesting( always interested in cash :-} ). any
thing already divided will probably be 2-4 growths. I might be able to
post pictures(not here) if I can outsmart vista.

I have an EXTREMLY LARGE Coelogyne corymbosa (200+growths)that is
overgrowing an 18" pot PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE take part or all of this
monster. This plant came from the Orchid Species Preservation
Foundation's greenhouse in Edmonton. Not sure what i was thinking when i
purchased it. I specifically told them to talk me out of buying it.
Coelogyne mossie also quite large but a much more reasonable overgrown 8"
pot

Miltonia spectabilis in spike with over 20 spikes
Epidendrum radicans these also really need a new home. they aren't huge
but i just dont have the room.
by E. radicans standards they are quite
small actually. several of them are in hydro pots

Cattleya Percivialiana " Jewel"
Cattleya Percivialiana "Summit" FCC One small back bulb division
Cattleya Percivialiana "Albert's"
Cattleya guatamalensis
Cattleya walkerania i will have to look up the exact cross but it is a
line bred from H&R or is it J&L?? from hawaii anyway
Cattleya jenmanii coerulea
Cattleya mossiea
Cattleya mossiea coerulea
Stanhopea penelope hybrid big yellow flowers
Oncidium trilobum I think this one is awarded
Doritis pulcherima
Doritis pulcherima alba
Dendrobium kingianum

This is just what I can think of while I''m at work. There must be others.
I can't only have 16 plants I'm willling to part with. Oh yea, there's
some Catt. and Onc hybrids that must go. If any one is interested I will
make up a more compleat list. I am mostly interested in coerulea
awarded Cattleya alliance species. Not that I'm picky. A FCC Brassovola
digbiyana would also be nice.A multifloral one please.
