Okay, hopefully someone has ordered from SBOE
I just bought a Laelia Cinnabrosa from them. It has to be quarantined for 30 days before shipping becuase of brown snail. It was pricey as far as I am concerned and shipping was high but I've been looking for a long time.

I've never bought from them - I couldn't find this plant anywhere else.

I have bought from them direct,but not thru the mail.
I also plan on visiting them the week-end of the 21st
during the Santa Barbara orchid fair.
I have not had any problems with their plants.

I was sent a gift of about five plants from them, from neo falcata to a gongora they were great plants and I was very happy with the order.

I had a feeling that it was going to be small - I really wanted one of this cross and let my heart override my logic.

Hey Thumper,

I've ordered from them and I was happy. Price was a factor but I would order from them again. My plants were healthy. Others that sell by pot size are sometimes misleading. You order a 4" and get a little seedling newly potted in a 4" pot, but the ones I got from SBOE were well established and outgrowing the containers.

Dorothy...I haven't a bit of logic when it comes to orchids

Royal...thanks for the input. This has been a hard to find cross for me. I was happy to have finally found it. Honest, you make me feel better on the 43 dollars I spent. I'm pretty sure that it is small. They never quoted a pot size just described the size via email.

I ordered from them before. Both plants were small and pricey. They seam to have every species though. Personally I will not order from them again.
