I posted that link a few pages ago.

Orchidsamore is a member here, and is well reviewed by many people on here as well.

Bob bob bob!!!! Search for them first! I'm sure that's already been done several times. You can go to advanced search, and search orchidsamore in the vendor feedback section.

[Izzie]

Okay, sorry. I just did that search myself, and did not find any threads that are specifically about Orchidsamore. Please forgive me!

However, if you search them in the whole forum, many people have recommended them. Sorry sorry!

[marydaniellesantos]

Lol. Sounds good.

[Izzie]

Sorry


Orchidsamore is on the board pretty frequently, and I've talked with him in messages a few times. I'm sure he'd be happy to talk to you.

I understand that this species has sparse root systems, but still...

The box was very warm when I received it, so I suspect that the plant was exposed to some heat in transit.
However, it had no insulating packing material in it whatsoever. The pot was wrapped in newspaper and taped in a corner of the box, the leaves were bare.

I'm not sure what to think.
I've sent him an email.

i talked to orchidsamore today, he said that out of the divisions he takes, of that size, about 15% bloom in the first year! so maybe there is some hope!

I have in the past. It would've been double or three times the current size. But some of the divisions were weak and I gave one away.

I don't plan on dividing the one I have left anytime soon.

But it still wouldn't have amounted to being something as large as the one with the lady in the photo. It would've been closer to what Mauro's was.

Yeah, I forgot about having to take into account me dividing it.

mauro's is still a pretty nice specimen!
