Orchid Thief Caught

Many people are familiar with Orchidelirium, thanks to Susan Orlean's best-seller The Orchid Thief.

Well, a real-life orchid thief has been caught in New Zealand, and faces up to 3 years in prison! Apparently, some orchids can go for upwards of $25,000, and there's an international ring of orchid traffickers based in the Czech Republic! (Who knew?).

If you don't want to pay quite that much for an orchid, we do have a number of orchids just arrived, in time for Valentine's Day! Chose from:

• The ever popular Phalaenopsis
  
• Miltonias
  
• Oncidiums
  
• Dendrobiums
  
• Paphiopedilums - "Lady Slippers"
  
• Odontoglossums
