Yeah I did not mean to say I am against it... Just it would be great to be there and pick and choose...

Bullsie, when you asked species did they just send you species only? just the genus you requested?

[bullsie]

I requested just species. I didn't request any particular Orchid family (although they did ask if I had any in mind). I let them choose. And they sent me species of all shapes and sizes that would work for my situation. I've got plants growing and blooming I would never think of picking out and ones I have absolutely never heard of till I opened the box and unpacked.

Its taking a chance on what you will get (some need a year to several to bloom and some come in bloom). Want to be adventurous and/or surprised. Kind of a 'go where you've never been before' adventure. Give it a try!

how big were they? blooming size? or would they be NBS?

[bullsie]

It was a mix. A few seedlings, divisions that need time before blooming which can be 1 to 3 years depending on the variety, divisions that are ready to bloom and I've had some already in bloom.
