Hey guys i just ordered from these guys and they are so nice! great southern hospitality and they are very accommodating! I am a huge i mean gigantic fan of Concolor orchid color forms! I love Concolor flowers!!!!!!!!

Problem is cannot find them anywhere very hard to find!!! well i was looking at Chadwicks' inventory and found Cattleya Warneri var Concolor! i have wanted one of those since i saw a post of one from Mauro Rosim. and i fell in love! so i called them and asked if they had one and they did!!! they had only one left!!!! it was pricey! the plant was 50 and the shipping was 20 dollars...70 bucks!

I did not have the money up front when i inquired about the plant and they were willing to hold the plant for me! they held the plant for a week although i ordered it two days later. it came to day and it is perfect!!! 10 growths one new lead about to push its roots out so i went ahead and repotted it! it was grown in moss I dont really do moss i only have one plant in it and its my Ang Leonis, it loves the stuff.

I thought it was odd for it to have a new growth just now maturing... they usually start growing in late winter and bloom that spring right?

if you have the dough i highly recommend them! this plant was cheap compared to their other plants prices!!! All of their Cattleyas are divisions! I was willing to pay anything almost for this plant!! i know i will most likely, never find another Cattleya Warneri Concolor for a very long time!!!!! it took me this long to find this nice blooming size plant!!! cannot wait for spring for this to bloom!!!

Again if you have the money or have good credit go get one of their plants! my experience was worth the 70 dollars!! and it shipped in 2 days! i woke up to it on my doorstep this morning!!!!
