Tropical Orchid Farm

I put in this order last month and got an email saying Kathy broke her foot, so the shipment would be delayed. I'm patient. I got my shipment today and they included an extra plant as a bonus. It happened to be one that I was eyeing but ultimately didn't buy, so that worked out. I like that they included similar plants as the purchase.

I also appreciate that considering the prices, the plants are all larger than I expected. I've had a great experience with Hausermann, but when I buy a $10 plant from them, it really does look $10. TOF sells plants at $10 or $12 that I expected to have only a stem or two, with one or two sets of leaves. What I actually got was between 5-10 stems. Only foreign vendors like Ecuagenera have had better value so far. Orchid Dynasty came close.

One Oncidium looks a bit dehydrated, but they are all green and spotless. And all 4 tested negative for viruses. Shipping from Hawaii to California was super quick.

Highly recommended! They have lots of species. The Dendrobium section Spatulata ones are standouts in my opinion!

Tropical Orchid Farm is one of my favorite vendors. The plants I received in my recent order look very healthy and are larger than I expected. Kathy included a Bulbophyllum for free. Never had one of those.
