Use a date-specific supplier quote for crucifix orchid. Can you confirm Epidendrum ibaguense and show the flower color, cluster size, and length of the cut flowering stems? Divide the quoted bunch price by its usable stem count for a per-stem cost, then include your quantities, supplies, labor, and pricing rules in the calculator. There is no fixed wholesale price in this guide.
Make one representative arrangement first and record how many purchased stems it uses. Multiply that quantity by the number of arrangements, add your chosen ordering allowance, and round up to whole supplier packs. The planner on this page demonstrates this calculation; its example values are not a recommended flower recipe.
The botanical reference lists fall and spring and summer and winter garden bloom seasons for the referenced plant or group. That describes garden flowering in the source’s context, not guaranteed cut-flower stock. Local climate, cultivar, production methods, and imports change what your supplier can offer. Confirm the exact date, form, color, and grade before promising this flower.
Stemwork’s design notes and pairing suggestions are editorial starting points for a florist’s own sample recipe. Botanical facts are drawn from Epidendrum ibaguense — NC State Extension Plant Toolbox (reference checked September 23, 2026). General preparation and design principles reference University of Minnesota Extension. Garden bloom seasons describe a plant in the reference’s growing context, not global wholesale availability. Images show botanical references and may depict a different cultivar or commercial stage. Stemwork does not publish live supplier inventory, wholesale prices, or guaranteed vase-life claims.
