Wow, I just received a shipment from First Rays, and I'm really impressed with the quality of the paph I ordered! I've ordered from them before for semi-hydroponic supplies and never really looked at their plant selection. I'm glad I finally did!
The orchid was packed so well: plastic around the pot and medium, tucked inside an ample amount of shredded newspaper, taped inside a foam sheet to contain the shreddings, which was placed in a box full of packing peanuts. The plant seems to have made the long trip unscathed thanks to the effort First Rays put into packing it.
Additionally, it's a GORGEOUS plant. Healthy, supple leaves with many growths. I'm a windowsill grower, and I sometimes worry about transitioning new plants from greenhouse environments to my home. Starting out with quality plants like this paph really helps that transition (of course, starting with healthy plants just improves the hobby of growing orchids all-around). I'll be paying closer attention to the First Rays plant section here on out!
