I also made I order from Andy's Orchids last weekend. I hope my package has arrived and I hope it is in spike. Even it it is not, I am always happy with what I get from them.

James - I hope to see pictures in the Orchid Gallery. I will need to show them to my Laelia rubescens for encouragement. :)

My order was waiting when I got home. My Gastrochilus somai arrived in spike.

That looks great, what a nice surprise.

In my excitement over the Laelia, I miss the Oerstedella I ordered look like it's also in spike.

Heres the Laelia

Those look great! Thanks for posting the pic of the Laelia. Mine is nowhere near that size. Looks like I will be waiting for along time to see blooms.

Andy's is great! I've bought a number of orchids from them. AND I've had them call to follow up on them as well.

He is, so have I....By the way, it just goes to show you you don't have to have high humidity to do a great job at growing these orchids like James does...Beautiful

I have spent oh so much there.. Always very happy.

The Laelia rubescensfinally opened.

The Oerstedella also opened, or is it Epidendrum now.

Andy and his wife were at a show in my area a few weeks ago. I had my 10 year old daughter with me and by the time I got to Andys booth she was tired and hungry.

I mentioned that while talking to them and they pull out a bag of chips to hold her over. Then as I was leaving Andy started talking to her about what kinds of plants she likes. Then he pulled out a Schoenochis fragrans and gave it to her.

Such pleasant people to be around

Thanks for the story and the pictures. Andy's remains one of my favorite vendors.
