Ever had a group but go ‘wrong’ -OR- help me make lemonade out of these orchids!!

[DirtyCoconuts]

So. As the title suggests, I had a hiccup in my first group orchid order. I have many great neighbors and several like orchids and I had the idea ( yes, it was my suggestion, doh!) that everyone look on the Ecugenera site, make our selections and order as one. Boom. Cheaper shipping and no issues with their tiered shipping and handling

So, fast forward to today, my one (awesome) neighbor comes and grabs her few plants from the box (social distancing was funny today, the box was left and watched through the window lol) and I called the other neighbor after texting him with no response.

He picks up and makes bs small talk and eventually says he can’t pay for his orchids, sorry.

Sooooo I kind of pause and take a breathe and basically hang up on him.

<so, has anyone else ever been in this predicament ? What did you do?>

And now...the real kicker- they are all really weird intermediate growing, terrarium type orchids and I am not very inclined to those types!!!

I will post a list of the 17(!!!) uninvited orchids first thing tomorrow. Represtria, Scaphosepalum, pleurothalis, etc ......
