What kind of orchid are you looking for ?
Bigleaf has a beautiful assortment of phals.
I have worked with Hausermann Orchids and have been very satisfied. (Phals, again)
Baldan's Orchids is another good outfit. (I obtained 2 phal equistris from them)
I bought a number of nice catts from Carmela's orchids at an Orchid Show and they do have a website.
I am sure there are many others that can give you kudos on their favorites. ![Smile](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/new/smile.gif)

We all have our favorites and some of our favorites are others nightmares, we have all been there. I have always had great purchases, healthy, tender packing and every once in a while a sweet surprise.
One of the OB member 'littlefrog' has great orchids (check out the paph's) and also shows which orchids are frog ![Shocked](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_eek.gif) friendly.
Oakhill is one of the OB vendors for one of our Project Contest. They have great looking orchids and packing to perfection.
Parkside has also a wide variety of orcids with healthy arrivals.
We can only suggest our best vendors and hoping they do you well. ![Banana Slide](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/bananapowerslide.gif)

There is also: The Santa Barbara Orchid Estate Santa Barbara Orchid Estate Home Page or Cal Orchid Cal Orchid: The Living Bouquet. (both in California, but I'm not biased really ![Very Happy](http://www.orchidboard.com/community/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif) )
Both locations sell wonderful orchids, but you will need to call them to actually place the order, however you can view their selections online.

Gytana,
Analyze your normal, easy-to-maintain growing conditions in terms of light levels, temperatures, and humidity, considering the day/night and seasonal variations as well.
Next, think about how much you wish to "mess with" your plants. Are you a poker/prodder/daily inspector and frequent waterer, or are you more likely to sit back and let it grow. Again, consider the majority of the year when the plant is not in-bloom, and not just when the flowers are on it, which of course, will keep you glued to it.
Then, after you have done that, you can start looking for a plant that will "take to" those conditions well.
Do your best to avoid the "WOW! I really like that one!" approach to plant selection.

You have fun choosing. I have paths, cats, onc, a zygo, that are all fragrant. All I know is that if you order 1 you might as well order 2 or 3. Soon your Dinner Menu will be the same as mine.
