So I ordered:
Phal. cornu-cervi fma. chattaladae ('Orchidgrove' CHM/AOS x 'Chinaithorn') 3 plant compot
It's now 10 days in transit by USPS Priority Mail® and may arrive today. The vendor has already refunded my purchase and advised me to refuse the package un-opened. I was thinking of accepting the package, if it arrives today, and paying the vendor again. What do you suppose the odds are of the seedlings surviving? This was the vendor's last compot of chattaladae.
I hate Priority Mail®, but some vendors just don't do Fedex.

Fortunately, I do have another nice chattaladae seedling I received recently from Olympic Orchids, but I wanted to have several of them to hedge my bets.
