is this a reasonable complaint?

Here is another thread on hibiki: Den Hibiki culture tips?


Rotting bulbs don't sound good, and it is supposed to be a spring/summer bloomer, so it shouldn't be dormant in Spain now. Sounds like it got dried out for too long, maybe. I'd say you are justified in your complaint.

Well, I had one before, (had to leave the greenhouse with my OH last winter/ spring and as she isn't a serious orchid person, she didn't realise that a couple were getting too hot. Still she kept most alive for me for which I was deeply grateful.) and yeah, it does sound like horsefeathers to me. I just wanted to get a feel for what everyone else thought.
Thanks for the culture tips.

Yeah, me neither if it had looked like that.
