An exciting announcement.....

Some slight changes with our flasks to Australia. Vitaly and Noela have increasing family commitments and when they have distributed the flasks due to ship shortly, they will end their time as New Horizon agents. They have been a pleasure to work with and I believe Vitaly will become widely known for his innovative miniature Cymbidium hybrids. I hope to actually buy some of his flasks and I rate his lines as exciting and unique.

Kevin Butler of Ezi-Gro Orchids in WA has been our agent forever and thankfully he continues as our representative and a very skillful hybridizer in his own right. Kevin has taken our lines and other lines into a very interesting and rewarding synthesis. Nobody offers as wide a selection of orchids in Australia as his nursery.

The big news as such, is that Guest Orchids are back on board. Graham will buy our flasks and grow them out for sale on E-Bay and maybe other outlets, as well-established plants. This is an ideal result as far as we are concerned. We made it very clear that flask sales to Australians would come to an end and this would have happened after the delivery of current orders so Graham's decision to handle a full selection and offer them for sale is a very pleasing situation. OK, there will be no more of our seedling flasks sold in Australia but you will still be able to access some of the best and most varied selection of quality cymbidiums in the world albeit as individual plants. I can anticipate some keen bidding when E-Bay customers see what Guest Orchids will offer. And of course Ezi-Gro will still be offering our NHO plants ex-flask as they have done for over a quarter century!

That is good news Andy. Can I ask when do you expect Graham will be starting to list them on Ebay, you mention he will be growing them on as well established plants, so I expect that will not be till next year now.

May as well get on the ebay wagon as it gives everyone a chance to get hold of some good orchids.

Cheers

Gary, the flasks are only being replated in Thailand now so they won't be offered for sale before late 2014 I expect or maybe even a little later. Graham is a top commercial grower so they will be well on their way to flowering before they leave his nursery, a nursery I might add where Orchid Fleck Virus has never been found!

Thanks Andy, bit of a wait then, I have purchased some plants from them before and they are good size and quality. He has been selling some offerings of his own breeding on ebay for a while now.

Cheers
