Wow, never knew, thanks for the link, been wanting to order some phal there, sure glad I saw this.

30 day no repotting or void coverage? That's disturbing.

After I read the old thread, I realize Troy just wants us to pay more attentions to him...... Poor kid!

Well, Norman used my photos for his listings without permission few times in the past. Would that count
as an answer to your question?

I will attest to the negative experience, from quality of plants to prices to customer service. This is based on two purchases, one year apart. Not 100% bad plants, but 50% good isn't good.

The 30 day not repotting thing made no sense to me, until I realized it makes sense to them. If you repot sooner and have a problem, they can say "we told you to wait." If you wait, and then repot and find they shipped you a plant with 90% dead roots, they can say "well they were fine when we sent it."

Which is not the case. I repotted phrags from Norman's when I got them - supposedly full-size, ha! - and the roots were dead on arrival.

No more Norman's for me.

It's so sad! I read a story how Norman fell in love with orchids at an young age & decided to make a business out of it, he went to school for it & succeeded. Where's that passion & love for orchids now?

Who is D-novice, and how do they have multiple posts that show"Posts: 1"!?!?
I got a very buggy Paph from Normans, be cautious. The workers there may not share Norman's love!!

I want people to know who good and bad vendors are, I work very hard for my money, and don't want to be swindled, or ripped off, I don't think anybody else does either. I would never sell a peice of crap, as a blooming size plant charging a hefty price
