    I just got an order from Rob at Sapphire Dragon and the plants were
    wonderful and the communication and service excellent. He's hybridizing
    some outstanding blue Phal. species and primary crosses...just beautiful.

    Make a little visit when you have some ooooo's and aaahhhh's to spare
    at www.SapphireDragonOrchids.com.

    I took a look, but was driven out by the overpowering web design. I think I'm getting old, just not willing to work that hard to see the content.

    This vendor has very limited selection and the price is very high.
    What did you get from them, Angela?

    Tom, he's in the process of building his business and lab, so his selections are somewhat
    limited, but what he has is outstanding. He'll have a good deal more next year.

    Dtps. Kenneth Schubert 'Fangtastic'
    P. equestris x cyonochiis 'Mother's Blue' x 'ABC' (bonus plant)
    P. Equalacea (equestris x cyonochiis x violacea 'Sapphire's Navy')

    Jon, where did you see a $1250.00 plant? The plants I bought were $40.00 and $50.00
    and well worth the price.

    Marni, I agree the website is a bit cluttered, but he is trying to explain what his breeding
    goals are. In addition, he's very good lookin' and has two lovely Aussie Shepherds. He's
    also very, very sweet and packs plants just about the best I've ever seen...not one
    leaf damaged or bent out of shape.

    I think that one just might be out of my price range, Jon.

    He has more now - nicer prices and easier to navigate website. Good service, nice plants for the Phal species/novelties enthusiast.
