Welcome to Blue Moon Exotics. We are a small, recently established business located in Southwest Florida. Our goal is to provide quality, established orchid plants from seedling to specimen size to those enthusiasts who value the unique beauty of the species orchids. Because of our climate we specialize in warm to intermediate growing species, and we produce much of our own seed from quality clones, many of them awarded. Our initial offerings are primarily seedling to near blooming size plants. We expect to add to our list of available plants regularly, so if you don’t find something you’re looking for today please stop by another time. For those interested in deflasking their own plants check out Troy Meyer’s site for an extensive list of flasks, including some of ours. Photos of many of our parents plants are available on our Webshots album pages. We started out intending to grow orchid species for a hobby but soon came to realize that there were very few locations to get healthy actively growing plants for our collection. So we started buying flasks of seedlings from various vendors , mostly here in Florida, and growing them on from there. It didn't take us long to realize that these well adapted seedlings did much better for us than old dried out and dormant plants from other countries that basically had to be resurrected and took years to adapt. We continue to collect award quality species plants for breeding purposes and use them to make seed pods that are sent to Troy Meyers for public sale after we get one or two flasks for ourselves. We are just getting started selling some of these seedlings and Near Blooming Size plants and plan to have monthly update to our specials list. (latest update 3/10/05) |
