Sunset Valley Orchids
I have never bought healthier plants from a vendor before. The pots are always completely taken over by roots and the bulbs are fat and perky.
Check out the roots on this svo cattleya I repotted in the attachments
SVO mostly sells seedlings so every plant is unique. I have received both predictably stunning plants and plants that had unexpected bloom qualities. A little surprise is always fun to me so I dont mind. If you do mind then svo also has select divisions of awarded plants as well as eBay bidding for previously bloomed orchids with pictures of the blooms.
The owner Fred Clarke is also very friendly and helpful.
I cannot recommend them enough!

I absolutely agree with Gthumbz89. My first order from SVO was a few years ago and nearly all now have multiple leads and bloom several times/year. They seem to breed for vigor.

Wow, just got my 1st order from SVO. I ordered 2 plants to just meet the $50 minimum, so I was extremely surprised to find the 3rd free gift!!! Pics will be easier for now, I'm in a bit of a pinch for time. 1st is my 2017 project plant (recommended by Estacion seca), 2nd was the spotted hybrid I ordered, 3rd is the bonus round. Look very healthy, I couldn't be happier, future repeat customer right here.....  |

I love his plants. Bob I don't know how you just ordered 2 plants. I usually get around 10 or so.
