I would check out local vendors, local orchid shows and your local orchid society. I live out in seattle and my local go to place is seattle orchid. They also have an online shopping sight. The great thing with the local growers is that they carry a lot of clearance orchids. Things that they woiuldnt sell online. Its either damaged which is easy to cure back to health or they lost the id tags. I just recently got a bunch from seattle orchids. I paid about 10 bucks for each lady slipper(I purchased four plants) they were all healthy. They just needed repotting or the crown rotted out but their were a lot of lush new side growth. I got paph. Mircanthum, paph lantha stage, paph fanaticum, paph hillsview limerick. They are all big blooming size also except for the mircanthum. And I also threw in a burregera nelly isler for 5 bucks. It was out of bloom. When the owner is not busy he will just start giving me things because he needs to get rid of those items because they won't sell to make room for new inventory
