Default Palmer orchids -OR- mooooove over, Fred. There’s a new packing queen!!

I placed an order of one plant. I was looking for another Den and i saw this it was amazing and it was reasonably priced.

I saw 4” basket and assumed it was going to be decent sized and pulled the trigger.


Today a four foot box arrived at my door, fairly beat up. I was concerned and opened it quickly. Inside I found a 3.5’, beautiful plant with two full spikes, packed in the most incredible way I have ever seen!!

Paper, shred, tissue paper, tape, more paper and more of all!

And a sweet, very large bonus plant, a labeled 2” den that is in need of an up pot!!

I’ll post pics later but I have to give all praise to Palmer orchids and their excellent proprietor!!!

It's a little far away for me, but what a beautiful bloom!

Sorry. I ll get a better “full body” shot. I wanted to show scale and size but it is a pretty awful pic. Sorry

The post was more about the seller than the plant. Err yeah! That’s the ticket. This was all about Palmer. Wink

I’ll make a thread about the orchid separately

Default Palmer Orchids is Great!

I love Palmer Orchids. Every plant that I've ever received from there is super healthy and they also tend to be quite a bit bigger than I had anticipated. They also offer specimen size plants from time to time.

They always do a great job with shipping. Only downside with them is their shipping costs tend to make orders significantly more expensive.
