Hey, did anyone else get an invoice with their order? There wasn't one with my plants. Maybe it's in package #2 with the dry goods.

Mine was on outside of box. Did you check there?

Terri, my invoice was on the outside of the box and I almost missed it! But yours might be with your other box too, just check the outside.

Becca, if you're anything like me you may also want to take into consideration that my packing and handling charge was $12 and shipping was $7.70. I think it's well worth it because everything was packaged perfectly. And according to their shipping info i think it's cheaper for a 4.5" pot or less (my tc was a 5"). But I think it may be helpful in deciding how many tc's to get.

Thank's Sarah. I'll check the outside of the box when I get home.

Those packers must make a pretty good living. Figure 15 minutes per package, max.....That's $48 per hour!

All that glitters isn't gold
It may seem like alot but Considering that includes material, employee pay, insurance cost and general cost of operation thats seem to me to be cheap! Although I may be a little bias,( I am self employed)

They charged me $24 for packing and $23 for shipping. Granted both boxes were large, and the plants were packed beautifully.

Finally Aerangis is here! I received it personally today, and I could choose the "bigger" one! I never bought an adult orchid smaller than Aerangis, I swear

! Even rupiculous (litophytic) Laelias are bigger than Aerangis! It's potted in crushed stones and sphagnum mix, I placed the pot on a tray with wet sand to keep the humidity (the air is very dry here these days). It cost ~U$ 32,00 and the TC's are BLC Oconee "Mendenhall" and BLC Chunyeah "#17" (real "BS" size, Chunyeah already blossomed, ~U$ 19,00 each). And now...keep the faith and wait!

Welcome back, Frederico

I hope you enjoyed your vacation

The Aerangis looks great

It looks wonderful! And a nice new root besides.

Sue, I just thought I would let you know that I have been in contact via email with Tom of Parkside Orchids and I told him I wouldn't be ordering until the 15th of this month, which is tomorrow. I still haven't made up my mind on my TC yet, but whatever it is, I would prefer it to be a mini, and possibly like to be mounted. Hmmm.....decisions, decisions.
