My new, belated credo: investigate BEFORE ordering

[Davidcee]

I just did the same thing today. I had at least minimal feedback about SLO Orchids, but went ahead and ordered 5 plants. I don't know what the outcome will be, but I will post when it plays out.

But the other purchases, also today, was from Smiley's Orchids on basically a whim and gut feeling that they are reputable. I did a cursory search on OB, but didn't find any posts on Smiley's Orchids, so I'm crossing my fingers.

When buying sight unseen, there's bound to be some displeasure every now and then.

On the brighter side, I recently ordered two B glauca from southernstar on ebay, and the plants I got were HUGE, healthy & happy, happy.
