This is an example of what appears in some of their photos in their listings and it goes as follows:
"Orchid Educational Alert. Common cosmetic issues in Oncidium orchids believed to be 'problems' by inexperienced and/or know-it-all growers" And then it goes on claiming that "spots on leaves and wrinkled bulbs" shouldn't be considered an issue. Then it concludes stating: "If any of the above "problems" cause stress/worry/bad vibes, PLEASE PASS ON THIS"
I din't like how this kind of approach makes me feel, so I took their advice and I passed on their plant.

That does seem a little aggressive. Perhaps it’s meant to dissuade buyers who are less experienced growers.
My experience was buying on Amazon, which does have a return policy. But I noticed just glancing at the description, I was confused by how the plant would be shipped (potted? Bare root? Size of pot?)
The plant I did buy has been healthy and is growing nicely. BUT (here’s where I have some strong concerns) the pant I bought was a cymbidium Enzan Olive. I cannot look up this plant on orchidroots or find any other offerings for others. Surely I don’t own the only one! So, that makes me skeptical about what I purchased and what’s gonna bloom. It’s like an expensive NOID.
Live and learn.
