Default Second Order From First Rays

I just received an order from Ray and I'm not sure whether I ever posted after my first order. I guess the fact that I'm posting about the second order says at least something about the first! Both orders were well packed, the plants were as advertised and priced very nicely.
The half off sale he's running on plants until the 14th makes the prices twice as nice!

I'll add a second endorsement, for Ray's orchid growing supplies. Quality and service among the very best.

Same here. I have purchased two orchids from Ray and they were very nice. Great price for supplies too and the service has always been excellent. I once placed a largish order with him and he forgot to ship the small quantity of bark I had ordered. He apologized and sent me a whole large box totally packed with bark, at least three times as much as I had paid for. Can't complain about that.

I have been going to order from him but just haven't gotten to it. what plants did you get? I want one of his white equestris plants. But I really need fertilizer. If he is having a sale I better get to it.

I got two of the Stenorrynchos speciosum (one for a friend), and a Tubecentron 'Hsinying Girl'. The Tubecentron arrived in bloom, and the Stenorrynchos both arrived in spike.

Subrosa, those both look very interesting. I know nothing about either species. And on a bad note the equestris are all gone, that's what I get. I should have ordered just as soon as the weather got nicer here. But I never know how long it will last.

I just received my orders from his half off sale and the plants are spectacular. So I used the regular shipping option of 3-4 days and Ray advised I should get expedited shipping because the heat pack may not last that long, which just made me appreciate his business even more. He really cares about the state of the plants when his customers receive them. It's almost hitting freezing temps along the path from PA to CO. Well I had them shipped anyways and they shipped on Monday. I got them today and it's Friday and the heat packs are still warm?! An amazing packing job was done to insure that my orchids didn't freeze. They are wonderful and and I thank you Ray, I will definitely be coming back for more orchids 😊
