True Diane! Definitely noticed it. Bunnings over here have removed all the phals that they normally have - usually heaps of them, and only just a few are on display for sale.
Buying from nurseries definitely saves on shipping costs. Quite expensive these days for ebay shipping. I see standard shipping is around about 22 dollars or so! Not sure how much express shipping would be too ..... maybe much more than 22 dollars.
During this 'covid' situation, I remember that regular shipping could take ages! Maybe even as much as 9 days ------ which is quite a long time for an orchid to be sitting in a box! I think now that the postal services have settled a bit ------ the shipping times are better again now, maybe.
