Hi Steven,
Thank you for your valuable feedback. Your insights are incredibly helpful, and based on your suggestions, we are planning to order this type of orchid in the fall next year. Although we did place our orders a month earlier than last year, certain aspects of new growth are still beyond our control.
We currently have stock from last year, and despite the challenges associated with growing these orchids, they have been performing well—some even bloomed. We recommend taking your time to observe their growth before drawing conclusions, especially if you are first time growing udner such conditoin. Additionally, thorough 'amount of research' is advisable before purchasing these orchids in the spring, to set realistic expectations regarding the new growth.
In addition, as you may know, the orchids in our Cycd, Ctsm, Cyc, Clo, and Cl collections are rare finds in Canada. Our preorder sales offer collectors an excellent opportunity to acquire them at a better deal. With proper care, you should have no issues growing them, and they are likely to thrive and improve year after year.
