where do you buy dendrobiums?

[Wrebbitrocks]

hello, i was wondering where all of you guys get dendrobiums. like, i desperately search for places that sell the dendrobium varieties that i want but nothing shows up. in particular den. ekapol(white w/ pink edges), beenana(yellow), burana stripe(purple with darker stripes), and a nice round maroon like sena red. it doesnt have to be those varieties but that coloration.

the only place ive found that sells these nice dens is royalorchidclub and we ALL know about him. plus any other sites have them but theyre SUPER expensive for a dendrobium and i would have to pay spraying fees for az. so, again, where do you guys get nice dendrobiums for a low price. thanks in advance

You might want to check out orchids.com (also known as Norman's Orchids). Some of his stuff is pricey, but there are some bargains too. There is a large selection of plants,both species and hybrids. The handling and packaging (I live in Ohio and he is in California--not a bad location for you) is really impressive.

If you're looking for a great price and don't particularly care about the name, try Trader Joe's...

There is an ebay seller by the name of peaandshel (peaandshel items - Get great deals on Home Garden items on eBay.com!.) I haven't bought from them so I can't say what the quality of their plants are, but I have been tempted to buy a few of their dendrobiums.

i know, ive been tempted to but them too but shipping for me comes out high. i am saving for one of theirs though

I can vouch for peaandshel"s quality. I have purchased four orchids from them and I am impressed with the plants,packaging,and the fact they ship 2 Day Fed. Ex. from Hawaii. The Fed. Ex. shipping I would think is very helpful in winter. Don't forget heat packs.

I ordered some from Carmela's Orchids in Hawaii, and they were huge plants (one that had 4 keiki's on) and I was very happy with them. Roots galore! Lots of colors, etc.
