40% Off Sale

[Leafmite]

Both times that I ordered from Andy's, the orchids he sent were in perfect condition. After one of the orders, the weather turned unexpectedly cold and he called me and asked me if I would mind picking the box up at the Fed Ex center so the plants would not be at risk (of course I didn't mind as I want my plants to be healthy, too).
I have some really great stuff from him.

I just put in an order.
I bought a Cochleanthes discolor, Schoenorchis scolopendria, Mormolyca ringens, Acropera armeniaca and an Ascocentrum pumilum. I wasn't going to order due to a severe lack of space but the sale was just too good to pass up and I have been eying the first four for a while. The last one, well, I have one already but for that price and size, I decided I needed a second one.

Andy's sale came along just in time. Preparing a new mini-orchid vivarium and found over 2 dozen plants at Andy's, most from his 40% sale. Thanks Andy

Leafmite, I got a couple of the same ones you did. Also bought a Schoenorchis, but mine is fragrans.
This is the 4th vendor I've ordered from, and I'm pretty happy. The packing was great. The instructions are outstanding. And when I called with a question, Andy was most helpful. I'd buy from him again!

They arrived today. The only concern I have is that when I opened the box, it was quite cold inside. They must have been sitting somewhere cold before they were delivered (I fetched them as soon as they arrived). I think they will be okay, though.
The only reason I didn't buy a fragrans is because I already have two...both from Andy's.

Lets see some pics

I admit, I hate taking photos indoors due to the lighting but I used my grow lamp and they turned out okay (though it was a pain). So, here they are....

Oooooh, cool! You got Mormolyca ringens!

Warscewiczella (Cochleanthes) discolor is a nice orchid to have. Along with being uniquely shaped, and beautifully colored, they are very fragrant, (smells kinda like cedar - and strongly too).

[Leafmite]

Yeah, it is a cool orchid. I have been wanting it for a while but kept telling myself that the flower was just too bizarre. Turns out, I was right. Love it!
Do you grow it, too?
I am really excited about the discolor. I love fragrant orchids.
