Default Any Europeans familiar with the vendor Orchidée Diffusion?

While hunting on internet the other day for I don't remember what, I came across a vendor that I have never heard of before. Vente en ligne d'orchidées , spécialiste des Vanda et Cattleya.

Anyone know them? They have some really nice Tolumnia hybrids that are quite cheap.

Could this be the same vendor in France called Vanda Diffusion? They had nice Tolumnias as well as Catts etc. I have heard of some being quite pleased with them.

I've heard good things on french forums, but the note on the orchidouxdingues vendors repertory is so so Commerce Orchidées

Never indulged myself into buying something there, not my cup of tea.

Silken- Apparently Vanda Diffusion is their Ebay name. Seeing the prices, I don't expect large plants. Maybe I'll test them first with just one plant. Shipping is so cheap that it's no great loss if the plant is not very good.

I agree, not too big of a gamble to try one plant first.

If it's Vanda Diffusion from e-Bay, stay away from him. Plants are small (Vandas), just seedlings. My friend ordered 5 plants, he sent 4. (I was there when she opened the box.) After a small debate, he sent the missing plant. But it was dead. After this he sent a rude e-mail, basically stating that my friend was lying about the missing and the dead plant.

Thanks Ruli, but I think I may take my chances. I went through their feedback on ebay, and nearly all the negative feedback of the past 12 months is on Vandas, and lots of positive comments about the Tolumnias. So the odds are in my favor!
