Mount Prospect Orchids


2008 PRICE LIST

ALL SEEDLINGS HAVE BEEN OUT OF FLASK FROM ONE TO FOUR YEARS.

MOST ARE ABOUT ONE-TWO YEARS FROM BLOOMING, SOME SOONER.

ALL COME FROM THE BEST BREEDERS AROUND THE WORLD.

This list cancels out all previous lists and offers!


     For more than 9 years I grew on windowsills in Brooklyn, specializing in Paphiopedilums and Phragmipediums. I also loved species and found some wonderful ones that will grow in the home on a window or under lights, as well as, in a GREENHOUSE. I am delighted to offer my favorites. All of the plants are established and as described. If you grow in the home let us help by making some suggestions.
     May 1998, just before we moved we received a HCC on a hookerae, and a HCC on a Macabre at the N.E. Judging center. Proving windowsill growers can get AOS awards!
     In FEB 1998 AN FCC on Phrag Living Fire      In June 1999 we received an AM on a Phrag. Sorcerer's Apprentice 'Lothar'.
     In 2002 Paph. Diane Vickery HCC/AOS, Bulbophyllum Stellis CHM/AOS Paraphalenopsis laycockii HCC/AOS CCM/AOS, Masdevallia infracta alba CHM/AOS, Bulbophyllum micholitzii CHM/AOS.
     In 2003 Paphiopedilum moquettianum AM/AOS.
     In 2007, an AM on Phrag. Kelly Nash 'Rothschild'


WE HAVE TRIED TO LIST ALL THE PLANTS ACCURATELY, BUT WITH SOME OF THE IMPORTED BULBOPHYLLUMS WE CAN MAKE NO GUARANTEES UNLESS WE HAVE BLOOMED THEM, BUT I HAVE NEVER MET A BULBO I DID NOT LIKE.

DIVISIONS: These are not discards BUT divisions of some of my favorite plants to grow and proven home bloomers. In most cases there is only one plant or division. Some of these might be sold out, but we will be happy to put your name in the pot for a future division.

We are too small to wholesale but now offer the following over $500 5%, $1000 and over 10%. BUT this does not apply to divisions, or listed specials in the boxes.

If you have a problem please call with in two days of order arriving. We will try to resolve your problem. Liability is only for plant material we do not refund shipping and packing charges. We are growing from customer satisfaction!

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR 2008 CATALOG. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL US OR BETTER YET CALL. WE ALWAYS ENJOY TALKING ABOUT ORCHIDS.

We are often asked what is the pot size? We do not price our plants by pot size but rather the size of the plant and how close they are to blooming, trying to be as accurate as possible. Most of our new Bulbophyllums are mounted.

Looking for a gift, let us help you make a selection. It took me years before my husband finally got the hint that I wanted an ORCHID for a birthday present!

We are starting monthly specials, budded plants, or some to few to list Plus our new imports. Email if you want to get these updates.

I have compiled culture sheets for Paphs., Phrags., and Phalenopsis for the home grower. If you would like a free copy please write and send a self  adressed, stamped envelope.
