I literally hate Norman's Orchids. They screwed me out of $600. I post negative reviews at every opportunity, I'm on a mission.
That being said, this is how obsessed I am with orchids: I placed an order with them this month... They had two plants that my heart desired that I couldn't find elsewhere:
* Phal. amabilis fma Irian Java '24 H Fragrance Princess'
* Grc.Black Comet 'Indigo Blue'
I also had seen this one online and liked it so I ordered it too:
* Phal. Yaphon Pink Bee 'Sweetheart'
I didn't hear anything from them for 10 days after I ordered. I sent a message, they replied 3 days later and shipped the next day. The two plants I really wanted were both in great condition. The Phal Yaphon was not... It was what I have come to expect from Norman, old drenched rotten sphag with a bunch of dead roots. All and all I was glad I rolled the dice.

Interesting potting method! I'm sure you aren't experimenting on your $300 phal right?

I want a Phal Gigantea in the WORST WAY, but cannot find one online. I am afraid of Normans due to bad reviews. Does anyone know of another reputable on-line seller that might have them? (My max budget is $100, so I suppose that will be a seedling?)
That being said, I will be in South FL in May -- what sellers might have them there? Would prices be better?
Thoughts, comments?
