One of my new 14 orchids I ordered off Etsy. Unfortunately this was the only flowering size where the flower survived the shipping. I live in SW Wisconsin and have nowhere to buy these orchids close so I have ordered 2 times now by mail. This place in Ohio did a great job on my order. I’m hoping to keep everything alive! Fingers crossed!

As your neighbor to the south in Chicago, may I recommend Hausermann’s orchids in Illinois? Their website could use some work, but their facility and staff are outstanding. Family owned business- amazing selection, and probably closer than Ohio for safe shipping. Take a look. 🤷🏻‍♀️
