That's was the Angraecum. I'm trying to give Paramount one more chance to count their plants, because I hate removing plants from the poll only because they have poor customer relations.

Hi, I'm checking in also but since I'm so new, I'm not sure of what to do so I hope I am just following the crowd here. Please let me know what to do!
Thanks.
Janice

I can't imagine why Paramont would not contact you. Do they not realize that it is bad publicity? Are there other reliable Canadian vendors? I saw that Cloud's doesn't have them blooming size. Can any of the Canadian participants contact them for you?

I have been the one trying to contact Paramount. I called last week and was told by the person on the phone that he could not verify the quantities and to email the owner. I emailed the owner and was told they would "check availability and get back to me". This was April 20th, and still no reply. Called today and no answer, but they are closed to public on weekdays. Great customer service here

Paramount is technically closed to the public during the week, so that may be why Andrew can't get through to them. He emailed, but then they reply saying that they need the post code in order to be able to estimate shipping costs. Nevermind that Andrew just wanted to know how many plants there were and NOT order!

Otherwise we have the Soph at Hawaiian Botanicals, and the Paph at Forest View ( the woman there is sooo nice, and thinks the project is a neat idea). Unfortunately the ones Cloud's does have aren't blooming sized. As for Orchids in Our Tropics, even if the website was up to date the plants are too expensive.
