    Went to SLO Gardens Orchids yesterday, which is on the California Central coast. The owner, Rudy, is a really nice guy. He has some incredible bulbophyllums and a few angraecoids. Check out his web site at sloorchids.com.

    He might be a nice guy but I had totally different experience with SLO years ago(maybe 7 or 8 years ago)... Unless Rudy has cleaned up his webpage and practice, I would not recomend this vendor.

    I have purchased from Rudy and have been very happy. All of my purchases have been in person either at shows or at his greenhouse. I have found the plants to be very nice and the prices some of the most reasonable around. When I visited the greenhouse everything was clean and I didn't see anything questionable. Tom, sorry you had a bad experience but my experience is all from the past 6 years. Also, the last time I visited his web site it was improved from the earlier version.
