Banjong Orchids??
Any Floridians familiar with Banjong Orchids? Are they wholesale only or do
they have a retail catalog? Some of their cattleya hybrids have caught my interest and I wondered as to their history/breeding program. K Barrett |

They have walk-in retail, but I would be surprised if they have a catalog or
do mail order. Unless it's a recent development, they don't accept plastic, and I'm not sure about personal rather than corporate checks. Kenni "K Barrett" wrote in message ...

Hi, Kathy,
Good timing; I just pulled a Banjong business card out of my wallet. We're hoping to get there Thursday, en route to Redland Friday. Friends who have been there tell us that it is somewhat chaotic, and it's common to communicate via orchids rather than English. But I also understand that you can run into some great plants, though it's catch as catch can. Like Kenni, I would doubt that there's a catalog, but if we get there this week I'll let you know. Definitely there is retail space. Diana |

Kenni and Diana,
I saw in the hybrid register that Banjong is making some cattleya hybrids, which piqued my interest. Perhaps they are growing the hybrids in Thailand and selling them in Miami? Anyway, their hybrids have all been registered between 1993 and 1999 (most from 1999). The one I was interested in was Banjong Topaz and Banjong Gold becasue they are progeny of Memoria Bengino Aquino, which I have a plant of (therefore I was researching its progeny and voila! Banjong came up). The only picture of a Banjong hybrid I was able to find online was of Banjong White (a walkeriana hybrid) and its a lovely pink. Yes, Diana, tell me what you think when you go by there. I guess I'll have to really try to make Redland one of these years. Its always the wrong time of the year for me, business -wise.
