This is what they should look like, this is the photo from the site I ordered from kawamoto orchids


Im getting happier now that the initial size shock has worn off.

Yes, I have been bitten. The symptoms have persisted for nearly 2 decades. From all my research, I've come to the conclusion that this is an incurable and terminal disease.

Good HEAVENS!! My infection has come in rapid and fast with no signs of stopping!

LOVE KAWAMOTO, great choice! All his orchids that I have ordered (and it was so many in last 3 years) were always AMAZING and so well packed!
