Big January Discounts On Big, Spiking Phalaenopsis in 6" Pots!

We are dramatically discounting all of our large phalaenopsis in 6" pots through January 31st!

Plants in spike with lots of buds that were $35 each are now only $25 each! Plants in spike that have not developed buds yet or that don't have quite as many buds were $30 each but are now only $20 each! No limit.

These prices are good for purchases of one plant or more at our nursery in Newberry and for orders to be shipped. No other discounts apply. (Please keep in mind that some of these plants are too large to ship and for that reason only available at our nursery in Newberry.)

Through January 31st, we will ship orders that include phalaenopsis in 6" pots for our actual cost of shipping only, with no additional packing or boxing charge.

And, also through January 31st, all supplies will be discounted 10%!

So stock up on pots, mixes and wire products now!

About Us

Bill Carter and Owen Holmes began selling orchids as cut flowers in the years following World War II when corsage flowers were in great demand for Valentine's Day, Easter, and Mother's Day. As lifestyles became less formal in the 1960's and the demand for cut flowers decreased, we began producing orchids for home growing.

We started hybridizing orchids in the 1950's and developed our own modern laboratory for seed and tissue culture in the 1970's. Our hybridizing program has resulted in worldwide recognition for Carter & Holmes as a source for outstanding orchids - in particular, art-shade cattleyas. Today, we ship orchid plants of many genera to hobbyists and commercial growers throughout the United States and to many countries around the world.

If you have received an award on one of our plants, please let us know about it.

We welcome visitors to our 18 greenhouses Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. If you cannot visit us in person, we hope you will telephone, write or e-mail your questions about our orchids, pricing or other matters.
