In another thread a member wrote about receiving blooming-size plants:

Quote:
...I don't think I will buy bloom size again. Between my friend and I, we bought 4 bloom size ones and they had all previously bloomed. So that means for sure it won't be a real winner as those would be kept by the breeder I am sure.
Not nececelery... I ordered a blooming size SVO1981 Paphiopedilum Transvaal ‘Merienda Lane’ HCC/AOS x Shin Yi’s Pride ‘SVO’ AM/AOS from SVO. Fred said he would send me a really nice one. He did. It came with two opened flowers, which have since faded, and a bud. Here is Fred's photo of what he sent me. The petals are 5" / 13cm long:

Looks like good breeding stock, though, so he probably had quite a few good results. Contacting the vendor is always smart if you want something special.

Fred uses high-quality parents in his breeding. Even still, beautiful parents can have funny-looking kids.

I agree that Fred is an awesome vendor. A group of us always order from him and we haven't had any complaints. In fact, we normally marvel at how pleased we are with what we had received.

Nice, I never thought breeders would sell substandard stock on purpose.
