Inventory Reduction

[tomkalina]

Hi All,

Just a note to let you know that we reduced the price on many of our most popular Paphs and Phrag seedlings listed at www.foxvalleyorchids.com. Reductions range from 20-30 %. Also, for those of you who may not know the quickest way to access Fox Valley plants when you're browsing the Hausermann website, just type FV in the "Search" box and only Fox Valley plants will be listed. This should save some time......

Thanks!

Thanks Tom. Very tempting...

Tom, I'm not clear on your reduction sale and how it relates to the website. The prices look the same. Is the reduc sale for the "online specials" only?

You find that long? For me, you stopped just as it was getting really interesting.

Not to worry, we intend to add more Phrags next week. With the last minute Christmas shoppers in the greenhouse ( a good thing), it's hard to find the time to finish the list this week. Which reminds me, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Pray for peace........

 

[NYEric]

Thanx Tom, you and yours too.

Not to worry, we intend to add more Phrags next week. .....

:drool: Really!?

 

[Candace]

Tom, can you tell me how the Paph. venustum v attratum differs from the common type?

 

[NYEric]

:evil: So tempted to say, "it ends in v. attratum" must resist...

 

[Erythrone]

Well..

In "joual", I would say "ch'u frue!"

In French, I would say "Je suis frustrée!"

In English: "I am frustrated!"

... because you can't send Paphs and Phrags in Canada, can you?

Hi Candace,

See the attached photo of one of the first Paph. venustum var attratum `Lakehead' AM/AOS (x sib) seedlings to bloom last year. The overall color of the petals tend more toward dark red than the typical burnt-orange and the black spots on the petals are larger. The leaf undersides are also a darker purple than typically seen.

I'm not sure if the 'var attratum' designation is valid or not, but when we bought it from a grower in Minnesota many years ago, thats the way it was labelled, and I tend not to change labels on plants from outside sources. When it was awarded, I'm fairly certain it still carried that var attratum designation.

There was actually an article on different the varieites of Paph. venustum published many years ago in The Orchid Digest, but I can't remember the exact issue. Maybe Lance remembers.... The seedlings tend to be slow growers until they're NBS and then they take off.

Thanks,

Thanks Tom for the explaination. I tried goggling var attratum and came up with a goose egg.

Tom- just curious...on the "Online Specials" section on the site, it has tonsum listed for $15, described as being blooming size. On the list you just posted, you have tonsum listed at $20....what's the difference between them? Thanks..

 

[Ray]

I have no idea what was a reduction or not, but I did see a few plants I needed.

How about phrags and paphs runners? That would be enough for me. Are you interested Eric? He! He! He!

Hi Eric,

Assume you guys are getting tired of all that snow by now! As far as the $ 15 tonsum you mention in our "Online Specials" section, it's actually an un-named hybrid between (tonsum x Magic Wand) and not the straight species. The single apostrophy in front of Magic Wand shouldn't be there.....I agree it's confusing. The $ 20 tonsums in the "Online Catalog section are NBS to bloom in season - not BS.

Thanks,
