    For trade or sale.

    Schomburgkia humboldtii
    Schomburgkia gaelottiana
    Schomburgkia thomsiana
    Schomburgkia tibicnis
    Schomburgkia brysiana

    $185 for the lot of them, plus shipping. Keep in mind that these are large plants and while they are not heavy, they will need to either go in multiple boxes or one large box.

    Or trade, let me know what you have in mind.

    LOL, Jean. They aren't like your big monster. I just wanted to point out that it will cost more than 5 bucks to ship them. I have bloomed a couple of them, but I don't remember which. They come from a person who supposedly has bloomed them all so I feel pretty good about the id's.

    Also, if someone is interested in these and cant receive them right now then I can hold them for a while.

    Thanks Jean. But you really cant find these for less, in fact if you tried to get all these you would pay WAY more. Maybe some day Unicef will get into orchids, until then these are the options. I will trade as well if you don't want to spend the money.

    Thanks, but, I have them all, at least three times over. But if you ever come down, maybe?

    I would love to come visit. Maybe when the kids are older. We can have wine and swim in the pool.

    Okay, how much do you think they should be? $37 per plant, I don't think that is outrageous. I paid $45 for a BS division of S. tibicinis few years ago and it only had five growths.

    Forrest, I have a thicket of reed-stem epidendrums I need to cut out. Will that work for a trade?

    I like that red plastic thing, sure would come in handy when I take orchids to and fro.
