Quality Ebay seller
For those of you who are interested in buying mounted orchids on ebay i have a fantastic recommendation for you. Ebay name: will5870. He has a great selection of good quality pest/disease free mounted orchids for a great price. Every third orchid you buy he throws in a free mounted orchid of his choice. (which is always just as good if not better than the ones you buy!)
I have ordered from him multiple times and have never been disappointed in what i recieve. Always great quality and in pristine condition. Highly recommended!

Very glad to hear it. I have looked at his offerings a number of times and have always been tempted but never knew if I should take the plunge. I probably will now.

One thing to add, every orchid that i have purchased from him has had awesome roots! They are always growing nicely to the mount and have lots of fresh growing tips!
You will enjoy Daethen!

So tempted! Cheap for a mounted plant where most places charge $30 for a no name plant.

Yeah and he carries quite a lot of species and a few nice hybrids. $20 no shipping! I'm loving it! I'm definitely gonna buy more soon! Hahaha

I've heard that the quality of his plants are really great, but they are very much on the seedling size. Is that true Shiff? I'm speaking mostly of what I've heard of his mounted phal species being very young and not bloom size, but again that they were really healthy. May explain the price.

The only seedling size plant that I got was a phal but everything else has been quite mature actually.

Will's business is called Abita Orchids, and yes he sells extremely healthy plants that are always well rooted to their mounts. I've gotten both younger and mature plants from him, but always in top condition. Will and I have kind of bonded over the past year, since our taste in orchids are so similar. He's a great person to do business with, and free shipping is ALWAYS a great motivator for me
Best,
Tony

Well, looks like I will be getting one. Does he usually have other species that arent listed on eBay? I want to see if he has any more phals as that is all Im comfortable with at my beginner status but I just have room for some mounted ones now. lol

I have looked at the Ebay items and they are a good selection and mostly species. I am into specimen collection and seedlings or small plants do not interest me. I will order from him when his plants grow big, tall and have bloomed several times...
