The non-profit International Orchid Foundation (IOF) and OrchidWiz are partnering to help orchid nurseries during the health crisis. We are happy to announce that all OrchidWiz current customers who are plant vendors qualify for a free OrchidWiz service. These orchid vendors can submit a list of their orchids for sale together with photos to OrchidWiz, and OrchidWiz will upload the data to ORCHIDS.ORG in a batch process (details to follow).
