Other Orchids
This category of plants is with Buds/Blooms. Most of the time, we will choose to ship plants at this stage with flowers mostly close. This is so that upon arrival, you or the recipient are able to enjoy the blooms for the maximum amount of time. Each orchid variety has a different bloom life. Our fragrant Cattleyas will almost always be shipped with buds closed in sheath. Other varieties that have multiple blooms or spikes, will be shipped in various stages of in buds or partially blooming. While we do our best to ship plants in their prime budded state, we can't guarantee a specific blooming stage due to changes in weather that affect how quickly the blooms open.
Upon receiving a budded/blooming orchid plant, please DO NOT repot the plant into another pot right away. Any media change will cause some stress and shock to the plant possibly causing the buds to drop. Allow the flower to finish blooming & then transplant. We will not honor our guarantee if you immediately repot the plant & flowers abort.
