Andy's Orchids
 
I recently ordered 5 orchids from Andy's, and I have to say, I can't believe how large, healthy and beautiful these plants are, considering their price. I have ordered plants from other vendors, payed twice the price, and gotten battered, bare-root plants. Here, I paid great prices and got huge, blooming or bloom size mounted or potted plants. The mounts are all nicely done, too. Andy's also provides a lot of information on their plant tags, including watering, lighting and temperature needs. I would strongly recommend this vendor for species collectors.

You know we want pics now! Don't hold out on us!

I can take some pics of the plants soon! I bought:

Dendrobium unicum
Haraella odorata
Paph concolor
Bulbopyllum ambrosia
Bulbopyllum blumei

All but the Paph and the B. blumei came mounted, and the D. unicum came in massive bloom (you can see pics of the blooms in the Dendrobium section).

Nice haul! Good luck with them, and post pics when you can. The Den is fantastic

Good selection you got there! I absolutely LOVE Andy's orchids!

Sounds like a great haul! I'd love to see pictures of your new orchids!

Alright, here come the photos (sorry about the poor quality, I was in a hurry!)! I included my hand in each photo for some sense of scale.

Here is B. blumei

with Andy's you get the real feel of the wild with the plants at no extra charge. I have a hard time dealing with the scrubbiness of them myself. :goodluck:

RJSquirrel,

I am curious what you mean by scrubbiness? You mean they are sort of rag-tag (not my experience), or that they aren't potted as traditionally?

I ordered a few plants from them about a month ago and they are doing beautifully. A few days ago they gave me a call to ask me how they were doing. Never had that happen before!

Now, I just need more money. Amazing quality, selection and service.
