Looking for Good/reliable Site to buy Orchids from?? Female
Default Looking for Good/reliable Site to buy Orchids from??

I'm trying to find a good and reliable site to buy orchids that ships internationally. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I bought 2 orchids from the net some time ago. The seller hadn't mentioned the size of the plant and Silly me (the real beginner) didn't think of asking all the details such as plant age/size etc.
I wanted a blooming size orchid but got the really tiny orchid just after seedling stage!
Anyone heard of and or bought from 'Ecuanegra'?
(n.b. this is Not the site where I bought the above- mentioned orchids).

Your profile says that you're in France. If that's true, why are you looking for international sellers when there are so many good EU sellers? At least with EU sellers you don't need to deal with CITES and phyto + import documents. Are you looking for a specific orchid that isn't available here?
I can give you a whole list of good EU sellers if you want!

Ecuagenera is a pretty good source for orchids. You'll get blooming sized plants from them. When they attend orchid shows, you can bypass the CITES and phyto + import documentations. I believe they'll be in Europe soon.

If you're able to get plants locally, that's probably a better bet. You get to see what you're getting. You can be as selective as you want about the quality and size of the plants you're getting.

I am ordering from Burnham Nurseries - the home of orchids on the web but I cant give you a proper recommendation until after I get the plants. They do have younger and older plants available and you will have to be specific when you.

It's a little bit confusing: France but the Jamaican flag. Maybe she lives in France. Anyway, a list with good sellers from Europe will be highly appreciated by Europeans in this forum

I would love some feed back thank you very much. There is an Orchid show here in Dublin on the 10th of April. I saved on postage by ordering from them to collect at the show.

Maybe there is a list of European Orchid sellers and us newbies dont know where it is on the forum
As for the flag, location difference; its the nature of the world we live in. My very very patient other half is Swedish living in Ireland.

I had wonderful success with Carmela in Hawaii. Good size plants (cattleyas) at very reasonable prices and all in good condition.
