My package was waiting for me when I got home! Woo Hoo!!! I ordered my project plant potted and boy is it tiny! But it is super healthy with lots of nice roots. My TC was a phal. hieroglyphica and it has 2 little spikes! Double Woo Hoo! I unpacked it in the garage while my dog was laying in the sun and totally did a happy dance in the driveway when I saw the spikes. Then I noticed the neighbor was outside...
Ross, i'm sure you'll be getting yours tomorrow. That extra 45 minutes must be killer for USPS. Mine made the trip perfectly fine so I'm sure an extra day won't hurt anything with yours. I will post some pics this weekend!

Ross, that is very strange. I always get replies back within a day. If you're very worried, try calling them.

Well I'm sorry to hear that some of you have not received your plants yet, I live in SUNNY SO.CALIF. and received my plants today, not bragging or anything, so I don't understand why those of you who live closer to the Parkside have not received yours yet.
I have never ordered from Parkside before, they arrived in excellent condition, I'm am very pleased with the quality of their plants so this makes up for the extra shipping cost. Picture (1) project plant (2)Paph. Magic Lantern and in spike (3) Phal. stuartiana.
I didn't realise that Aerangis was so small but I'm going to give this little guy a alot of love and build it it's own little green house out of a large clear plastic container.

They all look great!

The Aerangis will put on a stunning show when it's in bloom...picture a cascade of those cute little flowers coming from such a tiny 'chid!

I'm in Northern California and got my little Aerangis today. I didn't realize they are so small either. I went with the 2.5" pot. Looks healthy, no spike that I can see---Here are the pic's

I got a box today from Parkside. I opened it and could not believe what I was seeing. Packed VERY well. Then after removing the peanuts, cardboard and some newsprint I saw the first sign of more than I expected:

SHREDDED WAX PAPER

NO WAY

You all know what SHREDDED WAX PAPER means, right!? I knew they were supposed to be NBS, but to get one in spike?

After carefully removing the remainder of the wrapping and seeing the UPRIGHT spike I realized it was NOT the project plant in spike. It was my TC plant but WITHOUT the aerangis in tow.

NO WAY

Only the Doritis champorensis. Yes it is in spike. Pictures later if I get the chance.
