Buying online...Orchids.com? Female
Default

I bought two times from Odom's. A first and a last.

The first person I ordered with seemed relatively patient with questions and my request for great roots over blooms or spikes. I received a plant with a piteous root system and a dubious future. I searched far and wide and couldn't find this one anywhere else so....I doubled down. I reordered the same plant.

I did this after a sales person hung up on me when I asked if they could offer any discount on the second orchid, given the condition of the first. ("No ma'am, we can't. Ma'am, it's Valentine's day, our busiest time. I'm hanging up now." )

Don't judge me. Picasso had his blue phase. I am having an orange one. Anyone can see that Potinara Young Min Orange "Golden Satisfaction" is essential for a well rounded collection of orange orchids.

The second plant has a slightly less piteous root system than the first. It may even live.

I am the one with an orchid virus.

And if one of you happens to have a thriving Pot. Young Min Orange that you're tired of and would have sold in a hot minute, I will pretend I didn't hear that.

Probably.
