Just ordered these for round 2:
SVO7937 - 3inch Pot. NEW HYBRID (Pot. Loud Nine 'Unbeatable' x Slc. Purple Doll 'Midnight Velvet' AM/AOS)
SVO7893 - 3inch Epc. Magic Wand (Epc. Kyoguchi 'M. Sauno Mutation' x Lc. Trick or Trick 'Orange Magic' AM/AOS)
SVO7658 - 3inch Lc. NEW HYBRID (Lc. Jalapa 'Ruben's Pick' 4n x C. aclandiae 'Kathleen II' 4n AM/AOS)
SVO7672 - 3inch C. NEW HYBRID (C. Princesse Clementine 'SVO' AM/AOS x C. Mark Jones 'SVO' HCC/AOS)

Good choice: I got the last two on your list too (just realized my list got deleted not sure why! I'll add it later...) I've been to svo to pick up my order a few times but I've actually never been inside! Part of me is afraid for my wallet lol.

Magic Wand is a good one. Mine bloomed just a few months ago, and stayed in bloom for weeks. Really nice. I ordered a second one, to have a nice display with hopefully having 2 in bloom in the future.

With a few exceptions, I've never had to wait longer than 1 year for blooms on SVO plants. And that's with plants having to transition to a very different growing environment.

Needless to say, my living space is heavily dominated by SVO sale purchases.

SVO customer service: Received shipment of 9 mini catts last week. One had mechanical damage & another one had suspicious brown on pbulb and leaf.

I took pics and sent to SVO asking if they could refund $ or replace. Within 2 hours I had a response stating they would replace the orchids and ship them out in three days. Now that is customer service!

My grow room is becoming a mini SVO greenhouse!
