Sue,
I can't keep the Cattleya violacea var semi alba (Icabaru x Hector Luis) flasks on the shelf... they are hot. The Taiwanese and Europeans buy them as fast as I can replate them up. Look at this red nose... click on: http://personalpages.bellsouth.net/f...ea_icabaru.jpg The Cattleya lawrenceana var coerulea Aulisi in flask are selling great. South Americans are demanding them, surprisingly. I have 44 customers on the waiting list for 10-plant hobby flasks of ghost orchids, but same problem there too. The Chinese and far east growers are buying the bigger 50 and 100 plants before I can even break them down into smaller bottles. I like seeing the Euro so strong against the dollar. Sales of flasks are good to "old" Europa, with the exception of the UK... cheap ass brits never buy anything. They ask for a lot of quotes/questions though. I have had it with Canadians and stopped shipping anything to Canada. I am half Canadian and I have rescinded this ban three times in the last three years, but this is it... I mean it now, I will never ship flasks to Canadians again. I just crossed this C schroderae with another citrina so maybe next year I will offer this one too in flask... the fragrance is outstanding. HBI is trying to get the C percivaliana var coerulea back in the catalog with hobby flasks... but like George Bush says, "Ittttt'ssss hard, it's hard work". That's the news.

Good to hear from you. What is new in flask land? SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
