This is a beautiful orchid and very easy to keep, probably the cast iron plant of orchids in my opinion!. What the site fails to mention for the novice (and i include myself in this as i only keep a few orchids on my window sills at home) is that this orchid has a beautiful scent which fills the room, but is not over powering. It sends up flower spikes from previous years growth (growth is compact), mines currently got 12 and its only in a five and a half inch clay pot. These spikes are long lasting, for several months. In view of the above, if your not into big showy flowers and something which is simple, but beautiful i recommend this. Im just glad i found this site so i can purchase the alba!

I was so happy to find the Maxillaria flowering when I unpacked my parcel with eight orchids from you. The lovely scent of vanilla from Maxillaria rufescens made me adore this cute plant from the start. I am very pleased with my entire order: the service was fast and good, the plants carefully packed in paper (thank you for not using plastic!) and they were all in good condition and larger than I had expected. I will gladly shop here again!

Nothing like the picture, if the plant i bought had been pictured i would not of bought it, arrived with three leaves on five cains, 2 cains either dead or old and in comparison to the other super quality seven plants that arrived with it, then this one was a major disapointment, I hope it survives long enought to flower. I recomend not buying this orchid.

Arrived excellently packaged as the buds/flower stalk were still attached so very pleased and amazed after traveling all those miles between Germany and England it looks unafffected by the journey. The plant is super health and excellent qaulity. Must have plant.

I have wanted to obtain this plant for a very long time. Now that I have received such a perfect specimen, I now cannot wait for it to burst into bloom! I have been most impressed by the speed of supply and the secure packaging in which my whole order arrived.

The plant received was in perfect condition and actively growing. The packaging was faultless and the entire order received within only a few days. Faster than many UK plantsmen! As this is a new Masdevallia species to me, I'm looking forward to seeing it in flower.

I received a well-established plant in first class condition. The packaging was very good indeed and I look forward very much to seeing this plant in flower.

Excellent quality plant received. Extremely well packed. I look forward to seeing this plant in flower.
