Ahhh... did a search for you and found out that Andy's Orchids and Sunset Valley Orchids are very close to you (Del Mar), about 15-30 mins away. Both of them are reputable seller. Andy specialize about species. SVO specialize about top quality hybrid and some selected species, open on Sat and Sun on appointment. No need to order online lol seriously, unless you want to pay for shipping. Call them first!

Oh, thank you! That is great to hear. :) I will definitely check them out!

It is a good thing to support your local grower but you will pay sales tax which can work out to about the same as shipping, depending on what you buy...

I got my delivery yesterday and OH MY how nice! I ordered:
:drum:

Paph spicerianum
Brsdm Fangastic
Blc Chia Lin
Grapevine Mount --I had the Chia Lin mounted.

Now I'm like a little kid waiting for Santa.. AT least now I know I have two nursery's here in Florida I can order from and be pretty sure I'll be happy!:cheer: If not, I can drive there and whoop their butts.. :rofl:

Nice choices JackiBlu. Are these the ones you got from Jerry?

I have bought from Andy's, Aloha and Exotic orchids of Maui. No problems!

Andy's is a really nice place. Oak Hill gardens and Orchid Limited are my other favorite place to go. It seems like Oak Hill is the best overall: cheap price, good packing, nice variety, healthy plants, not too expensive in shipping. I think buying at a local nursery is better because you actually pick the plants that you like, and sometimes, you will get advices from grower, too! Sales tax is cheaper than shipping most of the time. And beside she has two of the best grower next to area, why not giving it a try.

Hey, here's some orchid event in your area
Andy's Orchids - Orchid Species - Event Calendar
They will often have sales. Come by!

I love buying online, really worthwhile and generally you get pretty good stuff.

EBay can be risky but there are some good dealers on there as well.

Hiya Sandy :waving

Yes, these are from Jerry. I'm very happy with them. I thought I put on the post above, but guess I didn't.. but to add, I also received a kaleidoscope phal.

This mounting is just the coolest thing since Wonder Bread. Ut ohh, I think I just dated myself. LOL

I ended up only getting 1/2 of what I originally wanted. THat was a good thing - Jerry assured me that he won't be running out of the other orchids I wanted to get. Makes that easier on my wallet (and time to makes some more room/orchid house)
