(from an email I got from GPH)
Our Fall Cypripedium list is now active. You may order by going to the website at http://www.gardensatposthill.com and clicking the Cypripedium Store in the Menu on the Left.
We will post our Fall Pleione list in a few months.
We will ship Cypripedium at the end of September into mid-November depending upon when the plants become dormant. We will ship Pleione in March, 2015.
We had several Cypripedium bloom for us the first time this season. Several of these are illustrated on our home page. We have many more hybrids coming along as seedlings that we will be offering in the coming seasons.
For those of you who operate garden centers, we now work with Frosch Exclusive Perennials and HardyOrchid in Germany. We have received unique hybrids from both of these groups for several years. The cost of shipping from Germany along with phytosanitary certificate and CITES certificate makes it economically difficult for a smaller garden center to order plants from these groups since several hundred plants would have to be ordered to justify the cost. Now, you can order from either company and they send your plants, already packaged for you, with my order. That way you dont pay for the regulatory documents since they come to me and you dont pay international shipping or brokerage fees since I already pay a set fee for these. The only fee you have in addition to the plants is the cost I incur to ship your order on to you by Priority Mail. This makes your $400-500 cost to get a shipment to your garden center go down to $25 or so. If you are interested in exploring this option, please send an email message to me and I will provide the current sales lists (you pay the exact same amount for plants that I do).
Thank you, everyone for your past support and we look forward to hearing from you this season.
