Default Kawamoto orchid (website)

OK. I know this is a famous one and I am definitely not the first one to leave feedback. But it really rocks! I did not use the Kawamoto orchid on Ebay because I can't really afford that shipping. So I ordered those 6 dollar orchid on Kawamoto:
Blc. Husky boys 'Romeo' 6USD
Slc. Bright angel 'OC' 10USD
Slc. Wendy's valentine 'June' 12USD
Blc. Brass town 'lipstick' 6USD

As result, they run out of stock of the Brass town 'lipstick', so they only charged for 3 orchids. Guess what, they sent me a freebie! It's Slc. Jewelers Art 'Waiomao Plum', beautiful and cute one which I originally intend to order. How lucky!

That's not the only good thing. For a 6 dollar plant, the husky boys is huge! It's actully two plant, one has two withered sheath, and the other has a new gowth with a sheath. Anyway, there will be bloom next year

Both the wendy's valentine and jeweler's art has bloomed before, actually, wendy's valentine has bloomed twice. The bright angel is smaller, but it's OK because it is a miniature anyway. Plants are in good health and with good roots. Packing are very careful and arrive without a single spot of damage. I was just so amazed by the size of the plants and I am still excited right now

I have some positive experience with many other sellers too, but this one is definitely a keeper!

Kawamoto is awesome. I visited their nursery a number of years ago and they are really nice as well.

Kawamoto rocks. I can definitely second that opinion. Great plants, great customer service, and lightning-fast shipping from Hawaii. With Andy's and Oak Hill, they are my top three favorites to order from.

These guys are awesome! I pop over to their place pretty regularly, though not so much lately. Good selection of species orchids not listed on their site too.
