Dear Fellow Orchidphiles:
A suggestion: I have been reading the previous thread about Aloha nursery and how to get accurate feed back about growers. In the past, when I wanted a specific species and needed to mail order it, I used Garden Watchdog to help decide if the particular nursery was reputable. I like Garden Watchdog because Nurseries can offer a rebuttal to any negative claims made. One or two bad reviews won't turn me off -it might be the buyer who is in the wrong, especially if the other comments are rave reviews. However a lot of bad reviews and so-so positive ones will make me think twice unless I really, really want something.
