In the meantime, we have to wait for our orchids to start growing before we can risk them in the post and this year they are slow. The consequence of this is that we will have to be patient, after all, our orchids have taken four years to get this far, another few weeks to make sure they are healthy is worth waiting for.
We have had a very variable Spring this year and it has slowed our plants down quite a bit. We were intending to get our full range onto the web site for sale by now, but nature decided differently. What we intend to do is take all of our available plants with us to the plant fairs we are going to attend, the first one being at the end of April at Spetchley Gardens. We like going to this one as it is the season opener for us. The weather can be a little chilly sometimes, but it is always an entertaining event. Because this is going to be the best way of buying our plants, we are going to take along a number of pots where we have potted up several to a pot. These will be very good value, although the plants will be small. Keeping them in the pot and growing them on before planting out should ensure a very successful outcome.
