Me three! I've ordered a few orchids online and mostly been disappointed with tiny plants that will take years to bloom for me. A few have been real winners, especially the nice ones I got from Ken!
Lore Lisa, you definitely should leave some feedback on your orchid order, for the sake of other buyers. At least comment on the fact they sent them when the weather was below freezing. As Kate says, it's really easy to look at a forecast and delay shipping for a few days to ensure the orchids will survive. Somebody definitely dropped the ball on that and if you wouldn't buy from this vendor again, well why would you want somebody else to?
Jim and I are meeting in Apopka on the 17th if anyone wants to join us for a road trip. It's about a 2hr. drive for me as well, but well worth the time and the gas. The orchids are half or less the price of one you'd buy at a show.
Ursula? A cheap flight into Orlando and we'll pick you up . . . ?
Bring a big suitcase for orchids!
