June's Orchid Estate News - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**lalffibra** · 05-16-2012, 02:55 PM

Sorry if this has been posted before but I visited their website this morning and saw this:

"June's Orchid Estate has completed its transition to wholesale only. If you would like to place an order or get information about our current selection please contact us by phone or email."

Anyone know any details about that?

**Cerilopasei** · 05-16-2012, 06:43 PM

only what you just posted/read

**Ferkilort** · 05-16-2012, 09:39 PM

The word is that they are selling their collection entirely.

**CGH1KZzy** · 05-16-2012, 11:25 PM

Didn't they not too long ago acquire someone's collection of Paphs or something? (Oldtymers setting in here.)

**alexbookhyip** · 05-17-2012, 12:05 AM

I think they have acquired Frank Smiths of Krull Smith orchids. Majority of stud plants.

**niemamczasu** · 05-17-2012, 02:24 AM

Yes, it was indeed Krull Smiths Paph collection that they acquired. The new place that June built is beautiful but in my humble and maybe wrongly, I felt that they really weren't doing that well. I wasn't seeing new breeding, but I understood Frank initially was helping her with that. I hope someone with some facts instead of speculation can shed some light on this.

Would be nice if they go retail as well and come to shows to Canada. I would love to have some of those Frank Smith breeding.

**Cerilopasei** · 05-17-2012, 03:37 AM

June must of gotten bored with it already.

**Snocioncilm** · 05-18-2012, 10:23 AM

I placed an order apparently just before the business "transitioned" and haven't been able to get info on it's status. They have my money, had confirmed my order, but now the phone is disconnected and they haven't responded to my emails.....anyone have any info?

**LSDDSL** · 05-19-2012, 06:19 AM

Might be time to contact a lawyer, Chris.

Update: I received a refund check in the mail for the full amount. No note - just the check. Better than nothing - I wish they'd sent the plants instead, though...

**Plulpangepler** · 05-20-2012, 02:58 PM

I inquired about wholesale purchasing, and haven't heard a thing back.

The plants have all been sold already.......

**alexbookhyip** · 05-20-2012, 07:08 PM

I wonder who bought it. That was fast. I hope they breed those clones.

Just went to the website to see what might have been new, after failed attempts, I came here knowing I'd get the skinny on what happened. That was a tempest that blew in and out quickly. Can't say I'm surprised though....

Ty! Where have you been?
