I don't order much from Ebay because it is hit and miss. Living in Florida, there are several growers in the area plus the orchid clubs and plant shows/sales. And then there is always Apopka, just a couple of hours away. Once a year, we have the big Redlands event in Miami, about 4 hours away. The bottom line is, I like to see what I am buying. Besides, I don't really need more plants. I just keep an eye open for special or rare orchids.
