I placed a first time order with this vendor, located in Hawaii. I was well pleased with their plants, service, and packing and I will order from them again if they have something I want.

I bought Oncid. Mendenhall 'Hildos'
Mokara 'Booncho Gold'
Neostylis 'Fuchs Ocean Spray'
Vasco Stylis Pawan 'Chao Praya' #1
V. Robert's Delight 'Ink Blue'

The Robert's Delight was $8.50, the others were all $8.00. All were in 4" pots, with good roots.

Marilyn,

That's a nice looking collection of newbies there...with all but one being vandaceous in nature.

Thanks for the positive feedback on this vendor. I'll give there site a look over...I'm sure I'll find something I must have.

Just received my order. I was a little worried about it because they shipped it Priority Mail (I would have preferred 2-day shipment but didn't have the option) on Monday and with yesterday being the holiday, well...

Happy to report that all three plants are looking fine. I ordered Stlma Kelly 'Lea' (in bud), Neostylis Fuch's 'ocean Spray' and a Ludisia discolor. The edges of the Neostylis are very purple but it's so uniform that I'm thinking maybe it is supposed to be that way, I'll have to do the research. The Stlma is indeed in bud (has 4 and looks good. Nothing spectacular about the Ludisia but it was cheap and I needed to replace mine.

Susanne. I happy that you like your plants. I asked for mine to be 2nd day, and ship it on Monday. I had it on Wednesday. My Robert's Delight has purple edges on the leaves also, but the plant looks healthy. Do you think it may be from higher light in Hawaii?
