you should join your local orchid club...maybe trade plants or they can direct you to a farm where you can order from...they usually sell orchids on the market place on the street...you just have to chance upon them(but these plants are taken from the wild and you dont know if they have bugs and virus.

what is your grow zone? what city in India are you from?
I am in the USA...it was just a hypothetical suggestion...but when I was on a holiday 2 yrs ago; I was mainly with a friend in Delhi...and didnt have a chance to go anywhere. Thats where I got to observe the market environment.
Try google:
I found...Bina Nursery, Orchids India, Kairali orchids, Star Orchids, Jeeva Orchids, Madaparambil Orchids ,Hafi Orchids...you can find their address and phone them ...

okay...youre the one from Delhi, India and I was just a visitor from New York...you should get out more often...heh

Khan Market is a small, U-shaped, well established market that's one of Delhi's classiest. Bargain hunters are likely to be disappointed at this market. It's got a loyal following who go there to shop at its branded outlets. One of the best things about this market is its interesting book shops. It's also got some excellent tailors who will make you a suit in less than a week. For Ayurvedic food, medicine, garden plants and skin care check out Biotique, and Khadi. Hidden away, you'll find some great lounges to relax in, many with balconies overlooking the street.
•Location: South New Delhi, not far from India Gate.
•Opening Hours: Daily except Sundays.
