April would indeed be spring for us in sunny Alberta, although we are still waiting for winter!! It was 4°C (39°F) today and it rained this morning!
Dawna,
Don't be discouraged by a crap deal with eBay. There are many very reputable Orchid Growers/Greenhouses in Canada you can easily order from once the weather warms up.
If you are in the Edmonton area February 24 - 26, the Orchid Society of Alberta is holding it's annual show and sale at Grant MacEwan College, South Campus. 7319 29th Ave.
Friday, Feb. 24 - noon to 8pm
Saturday, Feb 25 - 9 am to 5pm
Sunday, Feb 26 - 9 am to 5pm
There will be plenty to see, hundreds of plants to buy and a ton of information available.
Think about trying a more mature (flowering size) plant. Phalaenopsis orchids are especially good for the first time grower. They are fairly easy to bloom, re-bloom and are comfortable in the 'human' environment.
