I don't think I can blame Andy for a stubborn bloomer, though. It's in a bright light window facing a rather daunting snowscene outdoors.  Andy's also calls after you order to make sure you are satisfied with your order. At least he always has with my orders.
I'm sorry, Angurek, that your experiences weren't as good as mine. I'm not familiar with the type you bought, and wondering if it is a difficult orchid to begin with. Still, the leaves should have all been intact.  |
I've actually found it to be a very easy orchid to grow. In fact, the thing is growing like a weed but, as I said in one of my posts, it came to me in fairly poor condition. I'm not sure why the leaves were cut off to begin with.
I didn't realize that they call to ask if you like the plants they sent you. I've never gotten such a call. Maybe next time?
Anyway, if you haven't seen it before, here's what Pes. cerina looks like (this is not a picture of my plant):
If you like phals, I'd highly recommend this one to you. It grows like a weed and thrives in phal conditions.
