Fed Ex took 5 days to deliver the package, and when I realized this over the weekend, I notified them by email. I was very surprised and pleased to have a response on a Sunday night. Despite sitting in a shipping warehouse all weekend, the orchids arrived in surprisingly good shape- albeit a little dry. They were very well packed, and this must have prevented damage. After notifying them of good news, I received a followup email to let them know how the plants were doing in several weeks in case I needed a refund. |

Communication both before and after my order was placed was quick and friendly, especially considering the number of questions I had. The plants I received were in pristine condition even after winter shipping and continue to thrive a few months later. One of the paphs I ordered is already throwing a spike! Highly recommend! |

Their greenhouses are great to explore and staff is always happy to answer any questions I might have. Plants there are healthy and have grown well for me. Prices are a little high compared to other vendors, but infrastructural costs to grow orchids in Minnesota are also likely higher than in California and Florida. Recommended. I have no experience will mail-order here. |

I am very pleased with the plants, which look healthy and are the size described in the catalog. One thing that stood out to me is the obvious care with which the plants were grown. Each species seemed to have a custom growing medium tailored to its requirements. One plant was in high quality long-fiber sphagnum moss, two were in what appeared to be an Orchiata bark mix, and one was in a mix of perlite and very finely milled sphagnum. This is quite a contrast to many of the vendors whose plants are carelessly crammed into pots with old broken-down sphagnum moss. I'll definitely order from them again. |

With my first order my Psychopsis Kalihi arrived with cold damage and a replacement was issued when I called them. By the time they got to sending the replacement, they had run out, however, and the Kalihi was replaced with a gorgeous Psychopsis John D. Ramsey which is absolutely EXQUISITE. Communications is excellent and they respond to their emails and answer their phones (and they get back to you if they need to call you back). I like their website because it provides a lot of information about the Orchids and how to care for it. They offer something for everyone, from inexpensive to thousands of dollars for that die-hard collector/grower. Like everything else you have to shop around but their prices are competitive and you know exactly what you are getting as they list the pot sizes , leaf spans, etc, (which is more than most other companies)... BTW, their packing is IMPECCABLE. I've never seen such wonderful packing. All of my buds/flowers arrived in perfect shape. Other than the flukey cold damage no plants were damaged. |

They arrived in perfect condition, they were well labeled and the added bonus of the red gongora is in spike. I saw that and I started to dance around the room. Needless to say I would recommend this company to anyone wanting unusual and well grown orchids, and I will be ordering from them again soon. Thank You |

They have good quality plants and are very helpful when I have a question about a pest or other problem growing my orchids. Jason specializes in Orchids from Japan. Jerry has numerous awards for some of the orchids he has created over the years.. |

Plants have always arrived in excellent condition (even in the middle of winter) and have bloomed wonderfully. They have a great selection of species and hybrids to choose from. Very nice plants and great customer service. |
