Default Cool Phrog Orchids

Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to say a few words about Cool Phrog Orchids, and the great experience I had with my recent purchase.

The plants came packed very safely and they all looked healthy and happy (I actually did a chat with Cookiemonster while unpacking them, and had a blast doing so).

The extra neat thing is that each plant came with a great tag that contained growing tips, and also a laminated card with a complete growing guide for the particular plants I received.

Here are a few pics of the new minis I now have in my shade house:
  1. The group together
  2. Masdevallia Angel Tang
  3. Aerangis biloba (with 2 leads)
  4. Tolumnia sylvestris (with 7 leads)

I would highly recommend this vendor, particularly if you are looking for mini species, mounted or otherwise.

Don't ya just love the information on the name tag?

It saves me from having to do the research on where to place a plant that I get. Just look at the tag and everything is right there! Incredible! The laminated cards are a touch of genius

The chids are cool too

I also had a spectacular experience with Cool Phrog Orchids. I ordered:
1. Aerangis biloba
2. Ascocentrum curvifolium
3. Paphiopedilum Woluwense
4. Sophronitis cernua

The plants arrived in amazing shape for having traveled from one coast to the other and were very healthy. Communication was great, order was shipped very fast, and service is friendly

I also really loved the culture cards. They are great! I'm thrilled, and would recommend this vendor without hesitation as well. Glad you are enjoying your new plants too!

Yup...I've become a little (more) spoiled by the name tag info

Now even when I get chids from some of my favorite vendors, I kind of stamp my foot when I realize I have to go inside to research it

Yup, the orchid culture specific labels kind of gives us a little oomph on how not to "kill" our plants, huh? A fighting chance for our babies! It's a great concept that other vendors should adopt.
Also, Dana puts alot of care in picking out the best plants for each of us. That is very obvious.

Thank you all for the kind words! I guess it all goes back to the golden rule thing....I send out plants that I would want to receive.

Not to mention that nothing annoys me more than getting a plant and the care information is so vague it's hard to figure out how to grow it...

I appreciate everyone's confidence in my plants! Thank you!
