Here are some comments from our customers about our orchids and our service:

From a former "snowbird" who has moved to Florida:  "My order showed up today. It's amazing how well the orchids ship. I got a real kick out of your newsletter. It was very informative for a beginning orchid grower. But the best part was the KISS!....And I must also say I love your web site. I love that I can print everything about each orchid and keep it for reference. Thanks again for sharing your love of orchids."

A customer from Nevada wrote: "I received my orchids last week and I have to tell you that the size and quality of your plants are the best I have ever received from a mail order orchid nursery. I have purchased hundreds of plants over the last 10 years, and yours are by far the best. I will definitely be a long-time return customer."

Another customer from New York City: "Susan....WOW!  The Laelia purpurata arrived today. You really have sent me the most mature and healthy plants over the last couple of years. I have 25 plants in a one bedroom Manhattan apartment.  It will be a magnificent month of May!

A customer from California: "Just received my recent order from you and, as usual, you've sent some of the greatest-looking orchids I've ever seen! I'll be sending pictures of them as soon as they bloom. You have yourselves a lifetime customer!!!!"

This customer had us send a gift: "I wanted to thank you for such prompt attention. My mom received them and was thrilled. They will be truly unique additions to her collection."

One of our long-time customers who has been growing orchids for MORE than 40 years sent this note:  Bill & Susan, The wonderful orchid plants came yesterday. Sure wish I could grow as well. Haven't seen any that look so fabulous!
