Orchids on ebay:( Not a happy customer!
I bought what I thought was a large bulbophyllum orchid in a 10 inch pot through Insitu Orchids on e-bay. It was very expensive. This person seems to sell a lot of bulbophyllums, and seems to have a somewhat professional manner. Well, I started to re-pot it, only to find it was about 25 or so clippings or cuttings, most useless old bulbs. Hardly any were even good enough to call "divisions." It was almost as if someone swept up the floor and tossed all the bits and pieces in a 10 inch pot and slapped a price tag on it. I sent a note to the vendor, but it has been several months (I bought it back in April). You can do as you like, but I will not buy from this vender again. I was looking for a large plant and not a pot of bits and pieces. I did pot them separately in hopes that after a few years they might yield some plants. I do not have the room for bunches of pots of plants growing on my orchid shelves. This really gets my goat.
