    A+. Darrin made an error on an early December order that I placed, and he fixed it beyond what I was comfortable with. So I placed another order. Man... if you want big fat healthy dracs, order from Mountain. All of the other plants I purchased from him are healthy as well. He has a decent selection of almost impossible to find species. The plants he sells are large for the money, and he charges actual shipping plus $2 for the box. That's a tough find these days.

    The only down side is that I think he was holding out on a couple of plants that I wanted, so that I would return to place another order. ;) I don't really mind, because I'd buy from him again without hesitation.

    I had never heard of them. What did you get? Hopefully Masdevallia richardsoniana and Pleuro amporeana.

    Yeah, Tom, that's what I meant. I've gone back and correct it so others don't have to go in circles. Thanks.

    I have been VERY HAPPY with the plants I've gotten from Mountain Orchids. No complaints at all. Big plants and good value for the price!

    He has beautiful plants.
    Matter of fact, I just went to his site and ordered me a couple of plants!

    They used to have a lot more neat species but for some reason they had not done much for the last few years. I am glad to see something new listed on their site. Nice guy and his plants are always nice.

    I've never met him although I did see him at the Parkside thing when I attended a few years back. I don't order a lot from him just cause most of his stuff is intermediate temp stuff or cooler but every whip-stitch I'll toss some coin his way. I think I can do these two, we'll see.
    If not, I'll sell them to you. :D

    whip-stitch? Is that knitting talk?

    LOL, no I don't knit. Tried to crochet once; ended up with a really long strand of crochet.
    I think whip stich is a sewing term. I'm not a seamstress either.
    Unless replacing buttons count.

    I bought a HUGE dracula mopsus from him 2 or 3 years ago that has been divided into many plants since. Very healthy plants. Would buy again! A+++++ :)
