eBay seller Bestorchids-2009

[jkofferdahl]

After Susan reported her success with a foreign seller, I decided to try my luck doing the same. A company in Thailand, Bestorchids-2009, offered Phalaenopsis cornu-cervi (Breda). Well, I have no idea what the "Breda" part is, but cornu-cervi is possibly my favorite orchid and so I ordered three.

Naturally, the plants arrived at my office on Friday, the day I left town for the weekend, and so I didn't get to pick them up until yesterday (Monday) afternoon. What's a couple of days, though, after a couple of weeks in a box? Anyway, I opened the box as soon as I got home and found three quite healthy plants, two of which had multiple, bloomed spikes. A couple of the spikes were yellowed, but I strongly suspect that they were already before the plants were packed.

The bottom line, though, is that the plants are quite nice, in very good condition, and will make nice additions to my little cornu-cervi corner. Great seller.
