So, I had on my list of mini's 2 cute orchids, I could not find at the time anywhere in the USA. One member here advise me to check Ecuagenera. I had browse their page before, but never did order. When I found out I can actually pick up my orchids at the nearby show and pay for them at the time of pick up,m it was DONE, I did order my dream come true Lepanthes telipogoniflora, and added cute Macroclinium manabinum. When I arrived to Fairchild gardens, they even let me enter for free just to do pick up (this was Aroid show, so no really reason to hang out at this time:-)) I came to thei booth, and Ivan from Ecuagenera was extremely nice. He did open my package, that was still sealed at that time, and than we both saw that unfortunately my Lepanthes is pretty much gone







He said unfortunately that one did not travel well. Macroclinium was just fine, looking pretty good and with spike. Well, not a good day for me, it was not meant to be. This is no in any way complain, Ivan was extremely nice, and offer me to bring me another one next show, that will be here in Miami in November, this time orchid show. He did charge me only for Macroclinium and gave me the poor nearly dead Lepanthes for free. There are some good roots, and only one tiny little leaf left, so not sure if it can make it in any way, but I did mount it on the Hygrolon and I will pray for the best. I also grabbed at other booth my only non orchid Dischidia Sp, just because it fits perfect on the Hygrolon cylinder, and than driving back I bought from street vendor NOID phal, just to make me feel better, it was very nice color:-) Ok, so no Lepanthes for me at this time, have to wait another month and something and hope next time it will make it to Miami safe
