    ************* of Orchids Amore and Pelican Coast Farms was listed as an elite seller on the *********************** website. I ordered 4 orchids for a total cost of $88. When the orchids arrived they were in terrible condition. The 2 oncidiums were in poor condition with lesions suspicious for odontoglossum ring spot virus. The phaius orchid looked like it had been hacked up with a weed eater. The phalaenopsis equestris had crown rot and all of the roots were mush. I sent ************* 2 emails and received no response. I contacted the *********************** to let them know that their "Elite" orchid vendor was selling plants that belong on the $1 rescue plant rack at ******** As of January 1st he will no longer be recommended on the *** website. I called ************* and gave him an additional chance to make the situation right. He told me that the phalaenopsis equestris was green and healthy and that I shouldn't have repotted right away. I don't normally repot orchids immediately but these were in such poor condition, I wanted to check the roots. That turned out to be a wise decision. I have all 4 orchids isolated in ********** so as not to infect the rest of my collection with any possible disease. ************* constantly interrupted me during the conversation and repeatedly spoke over me. The call amounted it a big gaslighting situation where he blamed me because he sold me half dead plants.

    I made an online order (their website, www.orchidsamore.com) for 12 orchids. The website looks legit, and the response of the seller/owner Jerry M was extremely quick. I received the orchids 7 days later and what I received were dead and sick plants. I took several photos and emailed them the same day, but he never replied. They don't answer the phone either. Gladly I paid using PayPal and created a case to receive a refund, since he didn't reply to the messages sent through PayPal, I escalated the case and received my money back. Avoid at all costs buying plants with Pelican Coast Farms or www.orchidsamore.com. They will come sick, and you will risk losing all your orchid collection because of this irresponsible business.
