I was really torn where to put this
Gram. scriptum 'Leopard'. Arrived yesterday morning. Carmela Orchids had the best price for one and they said it was in spike. And it was a 'large' plant in a 6" pot. I know what a 'large' orchid in a 6" pot looks like. WRONG! I clearly did not.
Look at this thing! OMG it has got to be 10lb - 12lb. and it's not just in spike, it's in bloom! It has an entire head of a dual head LED light all to itself.
If you ever wanted one of these for under $50 and blooming size, well now is your chance. I looked on the vendor forum and saw no recent Carmela Orchids testimonials. Most forums hate cross-posting so I will maybe do a separate eval for them in the appropriate space. Just know for now that Carmela Orchids has quite a few interesting species and hybrids for 50% of what I've seen elsewhere and the plants are as healthy and robust as one could ask for.
Another vendor offering this plant insisted on shipping it by itself for it's safety due to its size and weight. I was able to get two other plants (could have been more) in on the 'flat rate' shipping charge and it was so well secured against movement in transit that it took almost five minutes to get it unboxed. I'm not complaining.
