I've ordered from Francisco, visited in person a few times. I've purchased several Cattleya species plants and seen all his Florida nursery stock in person. He is one of the only people I will buy Cattleya tribe species from regularly

I've ordered from him. I've got a L. tenenbrosa, L. grandis, and 2 repuculous laelias which I don't remember the name right now. All 4 are doing great.

I do believe perhaps that was me!

I got a Cattleya luteola, Laelia pabstii, Maxillaria juergensii, and what looks to be an awesome hybrid of (Laelia milleri x L. cinnabarina) x Sophronitis cernua.

They are all wonderfully healthy little cuties.
