Can some one tell me

[ericst11]

I was woundering about ordering from Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, because i am looking for some laelia anceps for breeding and was woundering if people have bought plants from them or if someone knows of a better place.

I've only bought one plant from them, but I was very pleased with it. Their selection, especially Laelias, is very implessive.

The L. crispa they sent me was a very large division. They may be a little 'leisurely' in answering email, so be patient. I found the best thing to do is call. My experience on the phone was very pleasant and helpful.

Ummmmmmmmmmmmmm...I've bought Laelia anceps divisions from SBOE, and one L. autumnalis division, and I've been nothing but pleased!!

It's better if you call.

Good luck!

I've considered ordering from them, but their web site is intimidating- can't figure out which plants are current. Does anybody have any secrets for ordering from them?

[peeweelovesbooks]

what do you mean Connie? maybe I can help you since I've ordered from them
