Have you ever heard of this vendor?
Hello,
I hope this question will be considered appropriate (not advertisement). Have you ever heard of "the orchid house" vendor? I want to to buy some orchid from their website (theorchidhouse.org) but I would like to learn from your experiences (if any) with this vendor. Thank you.  |

Your question is appropriate but should be in the vendor feedback section.
I have not heard of this vendor, hopefully someone else has as I grow S/H and it looks like they have some interesting plants. Thanks for posting the link.

First time I have heard of this vendor. Sort of odd that a commercial enterprise has a .org address.

Check reviews on Dave's Garden. If there aren't any and the company isn't listed, maybe look for other reviews somewhere. Make certain that, somewhere, you get reliable feedback before ordering.
We ordered for the first time from a company (not orchids) without checking reviews first and...wow. What a mess. Never again.

Tom learned about S/H culture from me when I was giving a presentation down in Norfolk way back when, and became a wholesale customer of mine not long thereafter.
I would trust him.

Going to move this to Vendor Feedback, but as Joann said we don't consider such questions as advertisement, it's good to ask for the experience of others before you buy from someone |

FWIW: He had plants for sale an the recent Maryland Orchid Society Show. His plants looked healthy enough.

Well, I'll find out soon enough. I just placed an order. The only thing is that their shipping seems to be a bit expensive-$45.00 for two plants and five pot hangars.

45 dollars does seem expensive for shipping. Maybe because the S/H medium is heavier?
