Plant Requestors

Grower or Purchaser;

As many of you are aware we have become so extremely busy in our normal daily jobs (www.aerialphotolab.com) that we have had to dramatically reduce the amount of time that we have been able to spend with our orchids!  We had to close Discover Orchids, Inc. and return Discover Orchids to a hobby about two years ago.  In general we have always been an extremely small grower and our entire operation resides in a 14' x20' greenhouse with a shade house that is 14' x 10'.  Our annual sales for the year are generally less then a regular growers weekend sales and many larger growers’ daily sales.

In an effort to reduce the amount of packed full greenhouse space we have and the amount of plants that we have that need to be repotted we have some plans for this spring.  We will not be able to search out a single plant any longer and we will provide plants from our stock in another way.  Our EBay site http://myworld.ebay.com/discoverorchids will be revitalized and instead of searching out every plant people have been looking for in the mist of our greenhouse we will be going plant by plant and listing a division or a plant that may be available on the site.  We have tried to keep up with the plant requests but many times have gotten too busy to find the one plant in the mist of our collection which consist of approximately 500 different orchids mostly one each in our greenhouse which is 14 x 20.

Thank you,

Kevin
