Orchid collection Free to good home

[Sasssy]

Hi. I am in CA. east bay area. Just got orders to Alaska and I'm sure my plants don't have a chance. There are 11 orchids in all. I have a few other plants as well if anyone is interested. Thank you.

What do you have? I may be interested in some if you can ship to Washington State, I will pay the shipping.
That is a bummer that you will have to give up your collection!
You can send me a PM if you want.

I would love to have them. Will pay for shipping. I don't care what they are. I love all of them. However, there are some growers in AK.. there is even a woman who has a whole orchid greenhouse up there. It is called "The Orchid Patch," however, if you want, I will take care of them for you until you get back.

If you have extra would love some. You can PM me if you like.

Hi,
I live in San Jose and would be interested in taking some of the plants if you still have them.

It's about a 3000 mile drive from Md. Is there still enough time?

I would love to adopt one of your orchids. I too will pay for shipping and any other cost needed. Feel free to contact me through a PM on here. (maybe you could try and take a couple of your plants with you to Alaska, Ive heard there are growers there- it might be more challenging but it might be worth a try) :-) Goodluck!!

Has anyone heard back from Sassy yet? The suspense is killing me! Maybe sassy doesn't think that posts get responded to very quickly.

Come back Sassy! Talk to us.

I would like one too if there is anything left. I will also pay for shipping as well.

I'll pass since I think everyone wants them already.

At least I know where to go if the time comes when I need to unload a bunch of orchids. my husband thinks I'll give up my plant growing hobby once I have a baby. Hummm....we'll see about that!

Fat lot he know eh?????

lol Solay! I told my husband that we can't have another baby, because the extra bedroom is my orchid room! hahaha

what do you have left I would be interested in something easy I wouldn't kill.

Sorry I have been out of pocket for a bit. I am not sure how, or how well the orchids will ship. I am going to Hawaii next week, still have all the plants. Life is chaotic. I should be back around the 18th or 20th and get back to each of you. If I could get some shipping tips it would be helpful. Thank you.

Flowerchild, I've been growing all kinds of stuff since I learned how to place a corn kernel into a styrofoam cup filled with dirt in the 2nd grade. I doubt a baby is going to change that. LOL!!!


Psyc1210, I have all my orchids in the future baby's room right now. LOL!!! The way this g/h set up is going, the baby might get here first. Then what? Hehehe!

Sassy, I've been using Priority mail 2-3 day delivery. They have flat rate boxes that has no weight limits for a set price (the boxes are not very big though). That's only worth it if the item is heavy enough. I find for light weight stuff it's better to not use the flat rate boxes and just go by weight.
Also, I sent a large box out to April and it cost way more due to the size of the box. it seems if it's too large, no matter the weight, they charge extra. So it may be better to use two boxes instead of one really huge one.
You can pick up a brochure from the post office that has prices and guidelines. I've only used UPS once and so I'm not sure what the price difference may be. Hope this helps.

sassy, I have sent you a few private messages. Post here if you do not know how to get them. I know you are new, and the site takes a while to get used to, so if you can't get to your messages, let me know.

[christinek]

I am interested as well if there are any left.. And please tell me what kind of orchids they are that you are giving away if you would.. Thank you

Hi ladies, she said above that she is not going to get back to any of us until the 18th or the 20th of August. I would try to contact her closer to that time.
