Living in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Orchid vendors are few and far apart. New World Orchids is over two hours away. Orchids by Hauserman's is over 3 hours away. So I depend on eBay and online vendors to get my orchid fix.
Recently I found a vendor selling these plants but they are in Thailand. I didn't think much about the plants because they were all the way in Thailand. I wrote the vendor and they assured me that they send plants to the USA all the time. The plants were inexpensive, shipping appropriate considering how far Thailand was from Indiana. I took the chance and bought two of them.
Three weeks later, these two plants arrived. They lost some leaves in transit, considering how long they travelled. Call me happy!
