The box stores and farmers' markets are also full of mass marketed vendor orchids. I assumed twillamae was looking for reputable orchid nurseries, growers and hybridizers.

That is too bad. I only wish I was around the area before they closed. I heard of them in one of the books I have and got excited to visit them... Didn't take long to realize they were closed down. I was disappointed.

@Twillamae, what is" soon"? The big POE show is February 22-24.

Not for sale but the Conservatory of Flowers in GG Park usually has lots of orchids.
