I ordered from them last year the same time D did. She's right the medium was funky with a little snow mold, but the plants were super healthy. I bought a Phal. violacea x bellina (blooming now) and Phal. equestris (also blooming now). Both are thriving. If you don't mind repotting go for it.

PS. Sheridan, Tolus hate S/H so don't even consider it.

Hey Terri, you buying anything from them this year?

Thanks for the tip on repotting, both of you. That's good to know. I don't mind, either, I would rather know what's in there.
Sheridan, I checked out the Tolumnias and they are so nice! I am not familiar with this orchid at all. Wow, though.
I called them about one hour after ordering to ask that they send next week as I remembered a couple appts. I had and want to be here for the arrival. They had already processed and shipped the plants!!!! Wow!!!!
I'm fine with that as it's UPS and not USPS > and now that I know, I will make sure I am here. I just couldn't get over their prompt service.

Warp speed! I'm super excited as I've never ever ordered such a large plant. This is better than Christmas!

OK if Tolumnias don't go for s/h what would be a proper mix for them? I like the fact that they are mini's

I will try anything once

I have some bark mix in the potting shed. I have been looking for the smaller bark mix but can't seem to find it locally.

I have ordered from Hausermann before it was my first Paph.

I received their July/August newsletter and couldn't stop

I'm definitely going to buy the Oncidium Sharry Baby IN BUD and the Phalaenopsis stuartiana x self. I just have to wait for everyone in my apartment to go to sleep

If they see me ordering more orchids, they'll probably start smashing the ones I already have on my head

I did it!!

I just placed my order for the
Oncidium Sharry Baby IN BUD and the Phalaenopsis stuartiana x self

I haven't placed an order yet but I'm probably going to get the Paph. henryanum. I just love that little guy. I'm sure it's too little to travel alone so I'll just have to find some TCs.

Shouldn't be too hard!

Sheridan check this thread. Tolumnia Genting Volcano is sick I followed Ross's very excellent advice on watering, light, potting medium etc for Tolumnia. I will tell you I was very skeptical about how well it would all work, but the little guy is putting out a new growth so it must be happy.

OK, you people are a bad influence on me! I ordered Paph. henryanum, Paph. hirsutissimum, and Pot. Thi-Ti 'Sweetheart'. I think Paph. hirsutissimum may end up too big for my space, but I just couldn't resist.

The sale pretty much covered the cost of shipping. Now I need to get some medium prepared because I plan to repot as soon as they arrive.

Yes we are!! awesome choice's and if the hirsutissimum is to big you can send it to me, I will find room

I finally got my order!!!! Wow!! One pot is an 8.5" and quite impressive with a sheathe that's huge! That one is Cattleyea Bob Betts 'White Lightning' which will be a white beauty! The other is Blc. Chia Lin 'Shinsu #1' in a 4" pot. No sheathe but new growth. Both excellent and I will repot tomorrow as I just got my medium soaking early this morning.
Packaging was excellent....what can I say, I am pleased all around.

My only disappointment is that I could only afford two this time around. But now I know what the fuss is all about with Hausermann's.

I have so many that are small and gonna be a couple years until bloom, so I just wanted that jump this time around.

Nice, I'm looking forward to the pictures. You have to treat yourself every once and a while!
