Default If You Love Vandaceous Orchids

I want to give a BIG shout out to RF Orchids.com.
If you love vandaceous orchids and others like dendrobiums you will love this place. I had 5 orchids arrive today and they are all amazing. my dendrobium amethystoglossum arrived in bloom/bud and it is absolutely amazing. my rhynchostylis retusa arrived with 2 spikes. My Rhynchostylis gigantea is the biggest one i've seen yet with fat healthy roots and leaves. The Trichoglottis rosea var. breviracema also arrived in bud.

The only down side, and i find there is always something with ordering and caring for living plants, is snails.
All the orchids arrived with snails and some tiny spiders. Its not too bad though because most of the orchids i ordered don't have any medium. they are literally just sitting in plastic baskets. Snails and other bugs are an annoyance but nothing i can't handle.

One last thing that i really liked, is that my Dendrobium amethystoglossum arrived in a pot i've been wanting for a long time. It arrived in a clay pot with holes all around it.

If anyone is interest in pictures just let me know

The plants sound really cool, please post pics if you can. I have some mixed emotions about the snails, not sure I would like that at all.

Well I didn't like the snails by any means but the plants are healthy and that's really all I care about at the end of the day

Wow & Yeah! How awesome so many are in bud/bloom. Not had to deal with any snails yet myself so good luck. Spiders don't bug me so much because they eat the flies. Post more when they bloom.

Very beautiful and healthy. But now you have to get rid of the snails before you put them in with the rest of your collection?
