And of course, the internet (google is your friend).

I'll try to check those out! I'm over in Berkeley. All we have at the nurseries here are the usual suspects. :P I'm trying to get something more ... interesting? Like the orchids I keep!

Anyone have any experience with ebay vendors?

Sorry to the OP for the thread-jack.

I've purchased from plantintheair on ebay but they aren't cheap and shipping isn't fast. They have very nice plants, though. I wouldn't go that route if other sources had what I wanted.

You should take a trip to Santa Cruz. Dig Gardens has many non-Phal orchids. Not a big selection but most (if not all) are species. The Garden Company across-town also has some non-Phals (they might have had a few tillies). Sorry, didn’t look at any orchid prices at either places.
