I decide to post the email I received and the email I replied to the grower (Sandra, you are smart, how do you know who the grow is ????)
I say:
I did "not" re pot the "scarlet obrunzer", and I did not mean you packing the orchids leafs up was wrong, I'm trying to find some excuse for you why the leaf is dying. Please don't mixed up two different plants and two different issues.
I don't know have you ever see the pictures I sent to you, You keeping telling me the "yellow &pinkish" leaf was "normal", but now that leaf fall off and look like crown rot. Also you told me 90% dead roots is "OK" and "all our orchids are inspected before shipping...roots and all.." . I think most people will not agreed with you.
Please go to Hello!!! New from San Jose, CA
and Is this a crown rotting ? see the pictures in your own eyes.
If you feel you owe me a new plant or two, Please ship it to me with my "last" ordered. If you want me to ship those two plants back to you to get the refund, Never mind !!! I don't want to pay double the shipping plus take another chance, the odd is not on my side so far.
Thank you and have a nice weekend !!

We always pack the leafs up you have to....Please get a book on orchids because everything you are asking is normal..and you cannot repot orchids that are just shipped they will die to much trauma.And all our orchids are inspected before shipping...roots and all..We are sending you your invoice for your new order .2 are bare root species they are full grown species as big as they will ever get the others are potted do not repot them they have just been repotted,its fine if there are dead roots leave them alone...The only one you should repot if you like is the lake view splash..and that as well is full size..We have to check out the nurseries to see if we have anymore of the scarlet obrunzer.If not we will refund your money and you can ship the one you have back to us.
THANK YOU
