Beginner orchid recommendations

H&R Nurseries is supposed to have their spring price list up on the website later this week.
BTW, forgot to mention that in addition to the mottling the foliage of Jiaho also has a slight purplish hue.

I'm definitely getting the Jiaho. Everyone seems to recommend it! So it's a no brainer.

H&R Nurseries is in Hawaii right? Wouldn't shipping take a long time? I noticed Hawaiian nurseries have Onc. Twinkle as well. Can't seem to find them anywhere else so far (other than Etsy). Hmmm. I'll have to look into that list of Orchid Nurseries!!!

Oh that's not bad! I'm used to plants coming in USPS and worrying it'll be stuck at post office on weekends. I'll look into what the shipping cost looks like

It is well worth it to pay for FedEx 2 or 3 day. Tracking is reliable and they deliver when they say are they are going to deliver. From Hawaii, it's typical 2 day to the west coast, probably 3 day to the east coast. But they tell yeu, and vendors plan accordingly (usually ship Monday or Tuesday so that the weekend doesn't get in the way) Even when USPS gets it right(no guarantee), tracking is awful if you need to plan on being available to receive the shipment.
