| The interest and demand for species is increasing all the time, which has stimulated a world wide effort to raise these threatened gems from seed. Many varieties, which would have disappeared, are now available, and the list continues to expand, thus ensuring you will be able to enjoy their beauty in years to come. | |||||||||||||

The orchid species come in various sizes of plant, some are flowering size (have already flowered or are capable of it), some near flowering size (up to 12 months) and the rest are young plants (12+ months to flowering)

| For a bit of fun and learning at the same time why not install GOOGLE EARTH - it allows you to just type in the country you want (from the plant description) and it will show you an arial view you can zoom in to - lots of detail - see where these species grow!!! | |||||||||||||
If you see something you fancy then I can send photos of it if you want. Just make a request via the 'contact us' link above and I'll post photos on our Facebook page.
I often post updated photos on there so take a look as some plants don't make it to the site!

POSTAGE INCREASES
Royal Mail recent increases is continuing to cause us problems. As it stands we can send boxes no larger than 16cm x 16cm x 16cm as a 'small parcel' costing £4.10. If it goes over this size then it's £6.75. We have purchased some boxes allowing us to send plants as thin as possible so it goes as a small rather than a medium parcel.
The main problem for us is that it's now based on size AND weight and as plants weigh differently each day and we don't know the weight and/or size until boxed up we can not give an accurate postage charge.
The best we can do is send them the cheapest recorded way possible. We have introduced a standard postage rate of £10.75 for all Royal Mail First Class Recorded orders and then I will refund back to you the 'change' of what it actually costs.
Postage is charged at actual cost + 75p for boxes, tape and other packing materials.
