I should probably just fly to Paramount and shop directly....it would probably be cheaper then shipping them in

Could be worse- I ordered some Hibiscus plugs and was charged $36 for shipping- they came in 2 small priority boxes with $5 shipping on both. That's $26 handling charges!

Susan, call me psychic but I see a change in vendors in your future.

Jim

Maybe- but they were still cheaper than others.

If I can get a cheap flight I'll go, if not I'll just pay the shipping.

Susan, those are some handling charges, did the Hibiscus turn out well?

They're pretty nice and healthy. I hope they'll grow well!! It turned out to be $2/plug, I thought that was a bit excessive, although I knew the shipping charges in advance. ugh!

Apparently Paramount just charges the actual shipping cost which is a big bonus! Do you have any pictures?

Went to go buy roses today at the local nursery and those greenhouses called out to me...out of bloom Dendrobiums on sale for $6 for 4"/$10 for 6"!!! I bought two... Burana Sunrise and Thanida mini Brown. Thanida needs to be repotted, desperately. Roots all overgrown the side of the plastic pot.

Love to see pics!

Wow, Carey, you're getting down to Apopka prices. There it is $4 for dens, $5 for phals, $6 for catts and $10 for vandas. I want to see pics also.

Jim

Sorry about taking so long. The battery for the camera was dead so I had to recharge!


Jim, they had a laaarge supply of bloomed-out dens. Catts/Vandas, etc. were still $15+.

Wow. Happy roots!!!!
I just bought Christensonia vietnamica.

Very nice, Kathy. Beautiful orchid.

Jim

Nice one Kathy! Christensonia...
I have a small plants of this, probably some years away from blooming..

This will also be years from blooming!

Oh I love Christensonia Vietnamica, mine is still small as well... but Den tuananhii is spiking! this is truly a beauty when in bloom...
