Putting together an order

[NYEric]

I've been thinking a while about putting together a Paph import order from the far East, like Formosa Orchid seedlings or In-Charm, etc. Is anyone interested in doing this in the late summer/fall?

 

[dbva]

I'd be interested.

 

[Gcroz]

I'd be interested!

 

[NYEric]

I would not be getting compots due to previous shipping experiences. It would be something similar to what a few of us did with the Orchidbabies order.

 

[Gcroz]

I'm interested in seedlings and flasks. Would that be ok?

 

[ehanes7612]

i would be interested in a leuchochilum flask..if available..just send me details on what you need from me

or maybe the mastersianum..what does in charm have?

 

[Gcroz]

Exactly, what do you need me to do on my part? Please send me the details.

What company would we order from?

Are there some website/ecatalogs we could look at?

 

[Gcroz]

http://www.orchids.com.tw/ is Formosa Orchids.

In charm, I could only find a site with very old information so I don't know if what I found was correct.

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

I could be up for it!

 

[NYEric]

Heng-Shin or Formosa or in-Charm; whoever has the stuff we want at the best price incl . import fees!
I'm leery of shipping flasks after the thaianium experience! Compots maybe but I haven't seen any listed.

I'd be interested too. There are many things I want, few I can afford. When you have an idea who you are ordering from, I am sure there will be something I want.

Right now, Formosa is looking good. I'll use their catalogs to make a list and then post so everyone can add their list.

Cool

I saw some parnatatum seedlings listed on their website.

Eric, can I make a suggestion. You might want to consider Hung Sheng Orchid Farm. Formosa, mostly just buys from others, adds a markup and then resells. I can't recall the screen name of the guy that just went back to Australia but I think he can verify what I'm saying. Matter a fact, didn't he send you some flasks, and they got messed up?

Yes, let me know what you are doing, as I might buy something. The problem that I had when importing is they didn't come labeled as they should have. They tried to write a # on the underside of the leaves but on parvy's it didn't work out so well. The ones I got where from In-Charm.

 

[NYEric]

I have the retail catalogs from Ten Shin and Formosa, If I can get in direct contact w/ HS I will try to get a better deal.

I would love to get some complexes too...can I be included please?

 

[NYEric]

Sure. the more the merrier!

 

[Gcroz]

I liked what I saw at Hung Sheng! But to me it doesn't matter where we order from as long as we get what we order and the plants are good.

Just so I'm clear, hangianum is still not allowed from Taiwan correct? Any others I might be forgetting that USFWS has issues with coming from Taiwan?

what about considering ordering from Iweyshen (ShenLiu Orchids) http://www.shenliu.idv.tw/

I might be in for some of his roths...
