Got Orchids?

HunterB · #1 (**permalink**) 07-05-2009, 12:11 AM

I'm in between working on 3 different vivs right now, the newest being a 15gal vert

My question: what are some good sites to buy orchids from? (Not jewel orchids)
Also, anybody with pics of their tanks with orchids in them, please feel free to post

Thanks in advance =)

well andys orchids and j and l orchids are some of my favorites
However, lately I have gotten great deals off ebay, as long as you know what you are buying this can be the way to go.
Good luck with another addiction, I hear they are making a patch for it, but a cure is years away!

Black Jungle also has some nice ones. They have a few lone specimens they're selling and they're mass producing or mass buying a few interesting species as well. They admittedly haven't come close to updating their online store yet, especially because their collection is a mix of personal plants, mother plants from which cuttings are possible, and plants bought or propagated for resale. Just email them and I'm sure you can arrange something, I had the good luck of being able to talk it over in person.

Rob from LittleFrogFarm sells some pretty nice orchids and many he carries are terrarium suitable. He may be selling them through Josh's Frogs now. I can't remember but if you contact him, I'm sure he can help you out.

Littlefrog Farm, Jump into Orchids!!

I'm selling some of the smaller ones through Josh, but if that doesn't float your boat just drop me a line and I'll look for something. I've probably got less than 10,000 orchids. Probably.

On that note, anybody in near Lansing, MI wants free or cheap plants, drop me a line. You have to come out to get them, I'm not shipping free plants. Looking to move about a 1000 big plants.

I really like Oakhill Gardens. They don't have as large a selection as say Andy's, but they have really reasonable prices and pics of most their offerings and they ship pretty quick also-check em out Oak Hill Gardens

Oak Hill is a good place. Even better if you can get there in person.

Google Marni Turkel, she has some pretty interesting species.
