Truth is that there are more than one hundred orchid businesses in Hawaii..a lot of them are underground, so to speak..not getting inspections because they do not report to Agriculture...and this is just here...so guess how many really raise orchids in all of Hawaii..many just sell locally and are never seen at shows or the local markets...We have lots of outdoor markets here..and sure enough..those peoples plants are for sale...but through other reputable nurseries...consequently...we see that poinsettas are selling more in the U.S. than orchids..this is not the case...I assure you...Bill Bergstrom _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
