Default Krull-Smith..What do you think?

There is an orchid I'm really wanting thats bred by Krull-Smith. I'd like to know if anyone has ever bought from them and what they thought about it?

They seem to be endorsed by AOS, but their prices are also very high so I want to make sure it's worth the price. $200+ seems a little high for a clone.
Anyone have any expereince with this seller?

Krull-Smith is a big deal down here in Florida. I have a few of their plants and they are very nice. I was at their nursery last year...lovely

Yea they seem to be big since our society gave us catalogues (with that black paph) and they were going to make a group order or something like that

Krull is not very from from where I live, they are great people to work with and have a lot of respect in the orchid world....a great vendor. As a matter of fact, after chatting with them at a show a while back found out they have grown up in the Orlando area and graduated from our high school rival. A small world.

I too have had great experiences with them. They come a lot to the shows in Miami and their plants are always of fantastic quality. In addition, they are always ready to offer advice on growing.

I'll be seeing them in a few weeks. since one of the societies I'm in is doing a bus trip to that neck of the woods. Can't wait.

Krull-Smith has unparalleled quality--they have some kind of voodoo-magic up there as I've never seen plants that gorgeous on such a consistent level. You can't go wrong--
