2009 ORCHID LIST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT! Dear Friends, Here is our new 2009 List of new hard-to-find, interesting, unusual, and proven species. Following through with our promise to gradually move from print to the Internet, we no longer will print and mail color photos. Producing those beautiful color pages has been a lot of fun, but it is time to move on. There are only a few us working and we need to put all of our time and energy towards what we do best; producing more new items and introducing them to the market faster. We are putting a lot of energy into new photos for our website, though, and 2009 will have the most new photos posted for any year since we developed the website. If you must have some color printed material, for a limited time we can mail you a collection of some of our best color pages for $5.00. These color pages are already “collector’s items”. Also, some of you may not be aware of Jay Pfahl’s excellent website; the Internet Orchid Species Photo Encyclopedia – a priceless resource, you can see photos of thousands of orchid species there. This List is only a partial listing of all the species that will become available this year. Please check our website frequently to see all the latest species as they are added. The website also has “special offers”. Our lab operation is looking great - and there are hundreds of exciting species yet to be offered. You can help us save time by ordering on-line. Or please call us Toll-Free at (866) 572-8569. You may also fax your order form to us at (808) 572-8917. You may print out an order form from the Ordering Page of the website, as well as download a pdf file of this List. Terms and shipping info on Page 23.
