- My Search Had Ended...for now.
Catasetums, clowesias, cycnodes are all new to me, but I love plants. My Cycnodes Wine Delight arrived very neatly wrapped and secure. There were two bulbs staked together and a new one starting to grow. Instructions on how to take care of them after they're in your home was also included. Since I'm learning as I go along, watching a lot of videos, I get to experience the growth of roots establishing themselves down into the spaghnum moss. I look forward to the day when I can see it's flowers, but for now I want to make them as healthy as possible in order for this to happen. This was on my wishlist, and I'm satisfied with my purchase.

We’re delighted to hear that your plant arrived neatly wrapped and in great condition. We take great care in packaging our orchids so that they arrive securely and ready to begin their next chapter with you.

It’s wonderful to know that you’re immersing yourself in learning about Catasetums, Clowesias, and Cycnodes.

We’re especially touched by your passion and your desire to give your new orchid the best possible care, even before the blooms arrive. The Wine Delight is a customer favorite for a reason—with its bold burgundy-red flowers and intoxicating fragrance, it’s sure to be a showstopper when it blooms for you.

Lindsay W.Verified buyerDear Lindsay W., Thank you for your wonderful 5-star review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that your Fredclarkeara After Dark 'Black Pearl' arrived in excellent health and was well-packaged. This truly is a great specimen indeed; this is a stunning and unique hybrid, and we’re just as excited as you are to see it grow and flourish in your care!
