MOUNT PROSPECT ORCHIDS

2012 PRICE LIST

Our List is out late this year due to our very special 35^th Anniversary trip to the Galapagos Islands in December. We are delighted to share these photos of the trip (click on them for larger view). The species are truly amazing, enjoy. For those interested in going on a trip
there, our fantastic tour guide Fausto Rodriguez has started a company to get you there.
See his web site Galapagosbest.com.

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!

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE WONDERFUL NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR
2012 CATALOG. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE EMAIL US OR
BETTER YET CALL. WE ALWAYS ENJOY TALKING ABOUT ORCHIDS.

Please note plants are arriving all the time and the Paph list will be
expanding as will the Bulbophyllum list. Check often.

     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 February 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'
     In 2009, an AM on Paphiopedilum Misty Dell 'Rothschild'

WE HAVE TRIED TO LIST ALL THE PLANTS ACCURATELY
We are delighted with our new overseas relationships and getting beautiful Bulbophyllums

WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE NEW ADDITIONS TO OUR 2012 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!

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.
