Unfortunate Ebay oops... no hope, right?

Will I have to physically send it back? I mean I guess at this rate I wouldn't be losing much.
In typical millennial fashion the thought of making a stink and being potentially perceived as rude by the seller in the process makes me want to go hide But I may try anyway.

It’s not rude to hold someone accountable who did not fulfill his/her part of an agreement. Especially when there is a financial loss.

I got a refund! Thanks for pushing me to do something about it everyone.

Now this is an e-bay thread so I want to say that positively I get quality material from Austin Creek. Everyone should check them out.
And yes, I may be creating competition for myself but I can only afford so many orchids!!

Not only that but being totally under lights is a bit restricting. Not dollar wise, height wise.

I agree completely! Everything that I have purchased from Dale at Austin Creek orchids has been of the highest quality and always arrives in great shape. Thank you

I’ve always found this seller’s plants look puny and just out of flask. Haven’t wanted to risk it, and I’d love that cross too, but I’ll wait until someone grows them up a bit more first….also I don’t order anything from FL for various reasons so that also keeps me from being tempted.

Since my experience with the Bermuda Triangle of Packages that is Miami, I may steer clear from Florida as well. Also my humidity is so much lower that I bet the plants have less of a good time adjusting vs if I got plants from somewhere closer to home.
I know somebody here must have a flask. I'll keep my eyes open for the next few years, lol.

I order directly from Chuck Acker and always get the highest quality plants.

When I have space I hope to grow out some flasks. Let me and Heather know if you have a Phrag Asuko Fischer x Kovachii cross from him to share in the future

I just received a flask. But, they won't be ready to sell for 1 year or longer!

Please grow them as long as you need to

Good news! The initial tiny ebay seedling I bought that got smashed in Miami is not dead yet and is growing a leaf and possibly a root!
