Has anyone ever been here or have any feedback on them. I may be in the area very soon.

It is a good sized greenhouse with friendly people. They have a wide variety of phals, paphs and some others. I highly recommend going.

I have visited Hilltop Orchids several times as it is only about an hour away. Recently I purchased a HUGE pescatorea in bloom, several bulbophyllums, a paphiopedilum and some cattleya hybrids from them. They are very friendly, Dick will talk your leg off about orchids (he is a true enthusiast, not just a commercial grower). He mainly focuses on phalaenopsis and paphiopedilum crosses. He recently bred the closest thing to a black paph that I have seen. It was recently rated extremely high and will be moving into marketing soon. He also has several phrags - I'll post some pics if people want - I am sure he would do postal deliveries if you wanted. Great place to visit and very reasonable prices.

they do mail order and I can rate them highly on that.
Darn - I need to go and see them. Would love a mature Pescatoria.

Here is a pic of the pescatorea that I purchased - it was humongous and in bloom. I counted like 15 new starts crawling all over it!
