I ordered a Den Antennatum d'albertisii to replace the one that walked off after a group had been to my gardens on a tour. ( the last one I'll ever host ). Its really nice and even came with blooms . I ask my fav. ebay seller ( radar_contact_lost ) to find one for me and he did.

Ah that's awesome that he/she/they did that for you! I'm so sorry people are so rude like that. I hope they get black thumb for eternity for stealing your plant.

I have always wanted one of those dens. But just don't have the space!

Today I ordered two unexpected orchids.
Psygmorchis pusilla. A cute mini with yellow oncidium type flowers.
And Dendrobium oligophyllum, another cute mini that's been on my wish list.

Here's the story. I made a large order with Seattle orchids a while back, and the items were split ship. Most of them came right away, two came a couple months later.
A week after receiving my last two I received yet another email confirming my order was shipped.

Since I didn't order any more orchids I was confused.
Two days later, and I received the same two orchids I had earlier.

I called them up, they accidentally sent me more. They asked if I would be willing to ship them.

I said yes and shipped them the next morning.

Today I received an email that they got the orchids in great shape (happy I watered them before I sent them), and that he added "400 points" to my account. And if I preferred bein reimbursed another way he would do that.

I had no idea what points are. Apparently if you have an account with them every $1 spent= 1 point.
And 100 points = $5 off your next purchase.

Shipping only cost me $8 but he gave me $20 credit.

Which resulted in me placing another order today. The point system made one of the orchids free, so I only paid for one plus shipping.
I thought that was pretty cool.

Phal speciaosa C1 (in flower, red spot on one petal of each of the three flowers).

Nice list.

GAAAH! I told myself not to buy any more orchids till I graduated from grad school, but I caved!

I bought a lot of 5 adult plants from an ebay vendor for 20 dollars! All are good plants but the vendor has been trying to get rid of them all last year. I actually short listed a few. One I bought from the vendor before, but it was the plant that froze to death in Dallas back in November.
