Trading orchids Canada
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. |

This is just what I can anticipate of while I''m at work. There accept to be others. I can't alone accept 16 plants I'm willling to allotment with. Oh yea, there's some Catt. and Onc hybrids that accept to go. If any one is absorbed I will make up a added compleat list. I am mostly absorbed in coerulea awarded Cattleya accord species.

The first 3 or 4 postings on that thread actually should have been one but the computer did not allow it for some reason. Basically what it describes is my FIRST contact with a trader from another orchid forum. Before we knew it 60 plants changed hands, approx 30 each way. Neither of us gave up anything as they were all divisions with the parent plants staying safely behind. Cost is minimal, only postage, I paid $16 for 30 species I did not have, But as Carol pointed out, it's more than that, feels like Xmas to unwrap a box full of plants, some expected, some surprises. It's not like going to Andy's site, picking out exactly what you want, take a big hit on your credit card and then get what you paid for. It truly is more like Xmas as I basically will take any plant I don't have (with some obvious exceptions) and the surprise is what the other person has to offer. Some of my best plants were aquired by trading years ago. |
