TIME REQUIRED FOR SEEDLINGS TO FLOWER 
The rate of growth depends on the care given. However, under proper 
conditions, we estimate the following length of time until seedlings reach 
flowering size:

MATURE CATTLEYA HYBRIDS 
Note: All of the following plants are flowering size. The price is determined by 
the number of bulbs and the size of the plant, and the number of sheaths. Plants 
will be sent in sheath when ordered just prior to flowering time. We do not quote 
mature plants by pot sizes as we think this is misleading due to the different qrowth 
habits of the varieties. For instance, a plant with long rhizomes might have only 4 
bulbs in a 5-inch pot where a plant with short rhizomes might have 6 bulbs in the 
same size pot. Minimum price is for 4-5 bulb plant.
