I like the idea.I've come back, increased to 5 stars.I ordered on May 8, no promise of quick delivery, but they arrived today, May 11, in time for the Mother's Day gift we intended.The orchids were quite nice and looked very fresh and like they would open up the buds and stay fresh for a long time.I will definitely buy some of these again, perhaps look for a plant this time.I've never bought fresh flowers from Amazon, but my wife bent over and whispered, "Send some flowers to Consuelo for Mother's Day" and here I am.We have loads of fresh flowers around the house, mostly from our own growing but some from the store.Consuelo is our housekeeper and in charge of garden and flowers. She has her own children, but even though we are much older, we regard her as OUR mother. Our dog also loves here. She takes him on daily walks.I love orchids. Consuelo may take these home for her enjoyment there, but we will enjoy them here too.I will report again when I get these.I noted with interest there were only two reviews, one at 5 stars and one at 1 star.I start with a neutral 3 stars and expect to be back with an upgrade in rating, and pictures to boot.Karl Loren
