Name: Carol Noel Hawaii (near Hilo) It's all about choices.
....and I had to say 'no'. It was for 5000 plants (1000 each of 5 hoyas) shipped to Italy. I can't imagine striking that many...WHOA.... And packing them to ship? NO WAY!!!!
Carol, Italians must have found out that your plants grow so well .Take it as a compliment . :lol
But no matter what,it does sound crazy....1000 of each variety......I hope they were not expecting you to send rooted. I would faint from shock if I saw that big order for rooted ones.
OMG ,that is just too much....now I feel like fainting. They must have thought you have this huge nursery with bunch of people on payroll or something like that.

Really interested in the tissue culture the Thai growers are doing. We have a lab but have only been able to clone spartioides and it has done very well. I think Ted has done a few others but they dont take to it readily.. tissue culture is fairly easy (I think), so if it can be done, what a difference that would make. As it is, I'm hearing that tissue culture labs in Asia are putting the orchid nurseries out of business. Especially the local nurseries in Hawaii, but also on mainland.
A real pity, but business is business I guess.
