I ran across this vendor online the other day while searching for some Pleurothallids. Well I decided to place an order to see what I would receive since I had never heard of them before. They are a Hawaiian Nursery. Well, I got my package today and WOW!

These are the largest, nicest plants I have ever received from anyone for the price ($15 or under per plant). I will post pictures of the plants later, 6 in all since they sent a BONUS plant. So, I can't say enough good things about this vendor. Some were even had flowers!

They sent a very nice plant of Stelis morganii. I already had it but this plant makes mine look tiny. It's in full bloom also.

Here are the plants

Due to this thread, I gave this vendor a try too and I was pleasantly surprised! I just got the order yesterday and the plants came expertly packed with no damage to the plants or the blooms. It certainly won't be my last order with TOF.

I got a bonus plant too... a Restrepia striata that I have no clue what the culture is, off to do some searching
