Huge shout-out to Michael and Triton Orchids

[Optimist]

I do think that a buyer should communicate with the vendor if a virus is found. -- Sorry about not knowing acronyms. I thought it was like: "Rolling on the floor laughing, (ROFL)" not an orchid virus.

Just now I was thinking this was exactly the same thing that people spike Norman about. I have no idea whether he grows or orders from secondary vendors, but it seems he does do some breeding or growing on his own, so it could be a combination, or getting plugs from a source in Hawaii, or Tiawan or wherever.

Orchids take a long time to grow. Orchid buyers should not expect this business to be like McDonalds. But, on the other hand, a simple note, like "These X orchids will be ready by September" or "Pre-order" rather than sitting on a box for months. I am sure there is a logical way to do it without anyone's feelings being hurt.
