With regret we can no longer accept work for sowing commercial flasks for customers. We have had to make the decision due to a whole bunch of factors that ultimately mean that it doesn’t make business sense to continue doing so. If you have a pod of something particularly rare and desirable that you need sown, please do contact us, as we may be able to help and come to an arrangement.

We will still continue to offer quality flasks of our own plants and donated pods/seed.

As part of the all the recent website upgrades, we now accept payment in 7 major currencies and now offer direct credit card processing instead of via PayPal. Also supported is Apple Pay and Google Pay. For regions with a supported currency, it should in most instances detect what country you are in.

2023 was a year we’d probably care to forget for many reasons I won’t go into. However there is renewed enthusiasm for 2024. To kick off the year, we’ve listed a bunch of flasks on the site. Hopefully a good selection of things to interest almost anyone. There will be a lot more listings to come over the weeks, here and eBay.

By popular demand, here is the list of species and hybrids available now or in the near future. Many of these will be available at major orchid shows throughout the year. WesternOrchids-Flasks-2019

We’ve improved the look of the site and bit, and fixed up some errors. Also the store now contains new additions and some restocked items. Changes will continue over the next week or so.

It’s with great sadness that we announce that Helen Western passed away last night after a long battle with cancer. Kevin will still be attending the OSCOV Melbourne Orchid Spectacular at the end of the month, but please be aware it may take him some time to respond to queries for orders at this time.
