Default Andy's Orchids

I placed an order with Andy's a week or so ago and the plants were not do to ship until May 7th. Well, I got them a week early and they even called to make sure that was ok and they wouldn't be out in the cold. In addition to that, they also tossed in large a Max picta just for the heck of it. I can't say enough good things about them! I'll put some pics up tomorrow hopefully. I wanna repot (as always) and it kinda looks like the Max has divided itself so there are at least two in the pot so I want to investigate further. What a great thing to come home to after a long day!

So thanks again Andy's

Congrats, I have many Chid's from Andy's. Their Plants and Staff are the Best. I have a list when I see them at the Redlands show Homestead Fl.

I've bought some of my fave orchids from Andy's!

I placed an order recently too and by recently, I mean, like earlier tonight!

I know you're going to want to know, so here's what I've got on order:

Restrepia brachypus
Kefersteinia parvilabris
Dendrobium cuthbertsonni: one purple & one red
Lepanthes calodyction

I can't wait for delivery!

Sure would like to see pics of what you received from Andy's, Cowboy!

What's on your list for the show, Dave? Hmmm?

Andy's is great...he and his brother Harry are always very helpful and their staff are wonderful!

I always get a kick out of the call I get one month after delivery to check on the chids!

Thumbs up More praise for Andy's Orchids...

Just want to throw a little more praise Andy's way.

I've really be wanting to give the rupicolous Laelias a try, but was holding off for some reason – I dunno, maybe to prove to myself that I have some willpower left.

Low and behold, this morning I happened to see one as "Today's Special" on Andy's site. Well, of course, I jumped on it and placed an order. Literally 30 mins. or so after I'd placed the order, I got a phone call from them to let me know my order would be shipping tomorrow, and that I'd receive it Friday! And, he wanted to make sure someone would be home to receive it.

Now, a lot of places will send you an automated email reply when you place an order, even letting you know when it should ship. But to give you a call just after placing the order online?

Huge huge kudos to Andy's Orchids! Can't wait to see the lovely little ones when they arrive!!

maybe they should change they're name to Instant Gratification Orchids!

What a great place!

Andy's is great!
They were also the supplier for our first OB Project

I'm thinking they might be a wonderful choice for chosen U.S. vendor in the "Mystery Project" we're going to attempt in August

I'll be contacting Harry or Andy when we get a little closer to launch time

Thumbs up Andy's delivers!

Well, I received my order from Andy's yesterday, and boy are these little guys in great shape! Fantastic packaging for shipment (probably the best job I've seen yet), and fantastic healthy plants.

Laelia mixta & Laelia fournieri...


Check out the size of Miss Mixta!
