many.
in fact, one particular harlquin seedling i purchased from Norman many years ago received an AOS award for me.
as far as testing goes - i havent been breeding for some time now, but i have tested plants when i was actively breeding.

Did you test the phals from Norman's?

If I may throw out a couple of thoughts…

Unless an individual is a frequent purchaser of a number and variety of plants from a specific vendor, getting a bad plant or NOT getting a bad plant is not reliable evidence of the quality of that vendor.

On the other hand, there are a number of “indicators” that can give prospective customers an idea of what to expect. Stuff like how the vendor responds to perceived issues, or if/what requirements they place on how you handle their plants upon receipt are two biggies to me. Reports of issues by one or two people don’t bother me; repeated reports do.

Caveat emptor…
