Mail ordered plants don't appear as advertised

[smokinjoe1952]

This is the second shipment of orchids where the coloration of the blooms are not nearly as nice as the photos on the vendors website. The most recent shipment included a:

Aliceara Donald Halliday 'Smile Eri'

There are 2 blooms out right now, and there is NO pink fringing on the edges...all white. Supposedly, the fringing gets darker as the blooms age, but frankly, there is none to get darker. The plant as it looks right now is not something that I would have purchased.

I am not sure if I should be concerned about these instances or not. Buying locally is not an option unless you want NOID Phals.

I am not sure what to do, if anything. I have not contacted the seller, because I am not sure if I have an issue.

Maybe my superior culture techniques will bring out the beauty next time it blooms!
