I've been really good lately.
Last month three NOIDS followed me home, a zygo, a mini cattleya, and a paph...
I got a den nobile Christina Princess... and Lc. Sagarika wax 'African Beauty' jumped in my cart a few days ago...
I'm fairly certain I'm off to buy two more orchids tomorrow.
But other than that I'm sort of lying in wait.
I have to get my bedroom in order first.

About 10 days. It says on their their website during peak times during the year that they may be slower getting them out. I was surprised because I originally found them through amazon and I got my order in about 3 business days

Lucky for for me the plants I'm after don't show up so often, but when I saw a Lycaste macrophylla on ebay (at a great price) I gave in. Then a Maxillaria schunkeana, Maxillaria uncata, and I would have had a Koellensteinia graminea. I was racing my computer battery and it died at 4:17 left in the auction.

I had never heard of Koellensteinia before, but now I will hunt that plant for the rest of my days.

I really fell off the wagon this week. Got a sedirea japonica Fusamaru, then turned around and purchased a sedirea minmaru shima and chabo. My only species orchids and Most expensive to date. Sigh...

Good to know. I just placed my first order (ever) with them for four plants a few hours before you posted about waiting.

I guess other orders will arrive beforehand haha.

I ordered my phals from them and tthey all had to be repotted they were ready. The media was not my liking either. But they were in wonderful wonderful condition.

I'm hopeful based on other feedback from this board. It can be hit or miss what "blooming size" and "NBS" means to any individual grower. I ordered for paph's.
