There is a show coming up in Malvern next month. It's an international show so you get sellers from all over the world (most shows are much smaller). I've not been to the Malvern one before, it started last year replacing one that used to be in Peterborough and I didn't find out about it until afterwards.

Online you can buy from Europe as well as from UK growers. It's best to buy from ones recommended by others so you know they sell quality plants.

This is a really old thread where people posted ones they had liked at the time.
Orchids Vendors in Europe

I have bought from Burnham (and also visited them in Devon) and from Großräschener Orchideen online, and others at shows.

Thanks Rosie

A Orchid show sounds like fun I might look into it

Thanks for the link also will have a look at the sellers
I'm trying to find a Yu pin panda Phal but no luck yet
Would be good to find one to add to my collection of Phals
Hehe

Also a few different species too

Here's a link for the Malvern show if you are interested. It's part of the "Three Counties" agricultural show. The link sort of relates to last year's show (which was the first at Malvern) and details of this year's.

Welcome!

I like them all, but that white one with yellow center is so cute!!!

Oh, I think you need an orange one after you find your yu pin panda. A similar plant is yu pin pearl, which has leaves that are also purple. It's on my wish list.
