NEW SHIPPING FEES - All orders totaling over $100 before shipping or tax ship free. Adjustment is automatic if you use the shopping cart and pay for all plants at one time. Oversize plants are an exception to this rule and will not show as free shipping in the cart.

We know there is a lot here in the description, please read all of it. The description and listing photos represent the terms of purchase for our items.

To be clear, and since some do not read everything, for plants that we offer multiples of, you should not necessarily expect to receive the exact plant in the photos. When we use an example plant photo we tend to take photos of an average size plant, meaning some plants may have more growths, others less. In any case, all of our plants are generally the same age and at the same level of development.

Plants are living things, no plant is perfect, show plants take years of precise care and development to reach the level seen in magazine photos, and since our plants are grown in open environments, the plant you receive may have leaf or bulb damage from scrapes, bumps, insect damage, sun, fungus etc.  In most cases, but not all, we disclose any major issues with the plant. We spray our plants every other week with a systemic fungicide and spray a systemic insecticide every Thursday. We never ship plants that we would not have shipped to us. We do not consider old healed damage, discoloration or scars from insects or fungus attacks to be plant damage. We do make sure any such blemishes are healed and not active before we ship. Orchids prefer a moist warm humid growing environment which is a perfect breeding ground for these things, and we are ever vigilant to keep them under control.

PLEASE NOTE – We try to ship all orders in the same week they are placed. However, I am old, slow and recovering from a long term illness, I do not ship same day like Amazon so if you are looking for instant shipping, I am not the shop for you.   

Our plants are grown in damp, humid hot conditions and require time to dry before shipping or the roots will cook and rot in the box. For example, it takes 3-5 days for a Cattleya pot to dry enough for shipping, thus the reason we take extra time.  We prep and ship so the plants arrive as they looked when they shipped.  Please allow up to 12 days for shipping, we understand if this does not work for you, and we hope you find what you are looking for.  To us, the health of the plant is more important than the sale.

The buyer assumes all risk and liability in connection with the delivery of plants you purchase in my shop.  I do my very best to ensure that all plants are shipped using the safest methods and within the safest timeframes for the plant(s) you have ordered based on the weather.   I am not able to issue refunds if the plant you purchase arrives late or dead based on postal delays.  By completing your purchase, you are verifying that you have read and understand and agree to abide by this policy as I have stated it.  Please contact me directly if you would like me to ship your plant using a different service at your cost.
