Some new reviews from the Green Pages:

Moe recommended Tropical Plants & More and wrote:

I placed an order with Ken over at Tropical Plants & More, consisting of 1 Celadine rooted cutting and 2 Cattleya Orchids. I could not be happier with how smooth the transaction went. The packaging was perfect and the plants were delivered in 2 days. They all arrived in perfect condition and are super healthy. Thank you, Ken, for your help and prompt delivery. I see more transactions in our future!! Great seller, folks. You cannot go wrong.
