To buy or not to buy???

Those prices are WAY too high for NoIDs!!! If I where you, I would order either from CR Orchids in BC, Welcome to Online Store, or Cloud's Orchids in ON, Cloud's Orchids. I have bought from CR Orchids while they were at my Orchid Society, and they have awesome plants, and I know people who have ordered them online, and they were very happy with them. Same for Cloud's, I know a lot of people who have bought from them online. Paramount, on the other hand, is a more risky case. Their plants are a little more pricey ($30 average), and the quality has been a little low lately, and this is coming from personal experience, and the experience from a close friend. We have found that they tend to mail the less than lovely plants, leaving the other, nicer ones in their greenhouse. If you do happen to live around Calgary, then I would recommend Paramount as a place to go in person, that way you can pick out the plants yourself to make sure they are healthy.

Hello,
I am too one of the people who had not very nice experience with Paramount orchids, but was pleased with Clouds.
Now I found this vendor from Ontario:
Home - Orchids In Our Tropics
and want to order some vandas from there. Does anybody ever bought from them?
As for the noId plants, I had bought phals from HD at $9.99 and dendro from Rona at $9.99.
Your price of $25 for noId phal is definitely high.
