Ditto on the imports.

Same. I'm not understanding this either? Other than the first list, these plants look good to me. I've not ordered from any of these vendors. I have always used the vendor reviews here before I order. If I purchase from an eBay seller they better have stellar feedback.
I've not been burned yet.

Coincidentally I was just at norman's yesterday... considering how pretty their website is, needless to say now perhaps, their plants were not comparable...
interesting to note, they would not allow us into the growing area...we could only pick from their little sales / show area...
Many of the plants from other orders look great to me!

Guess I'm not that picky, but they all looked good to me also except for the first batch.
Having just gotten an order from SLO, you do pay shipping. They'll send you an invoice with your order total plus handling, and charge your card/send you a final invoice when they get the shipping cost. The shipping fee is the actual cost (checked my box). Seemed reasonable to me.

I won a Dracula bella at my orchid meeting, my first Dracula, yay!
(it's not a vendor but it answers the question, "what orchid did you get today"  |

Pretty passive/aggressive regarding Norman's from the beginning.
I'm not defending them. Don't know them, never bought a thing from them.
I started a longer post but responding to gossip and conjecture does no one any good.
I'm done with this thread.

Whatever you say and whatever pleases you... It's just somebody has to say a word, which I am not too sure. Why bother?
Anyway, I do not have to defend, but there is no gossip here. I have posted pictures of what I received. I also believe that it is a public record about their insect issues. So that is a fact. I am not sure if I could request more detailed information, though. |

I understand your displeasure regarding the experience with Norman's but the tone of the entire thread is very negative and to lump all the other vendors into this whole thing seems unfair to them. Unjustified even. Just saying...

You may want to read what I and Orchid Whisperer wrote. Maybe you did not? |
