Tropiflora has always been an amazing vendor for me, so I give them kudos. Good customer service. Respectable prices mostly, and a stunning, fast-paced product catalog.

Ebay is another nice source. As long as you stick to high rated sellers and you do a little research, you can get some great deals or find rare/unusual plants that might not be available at a retailer.

I've also picked up a number of plants from one of the local tropical plant businesses. The prices are much higher than what you'd find online, but sometimes it's nice to be able to hand pick the plant that I decide is the best of the bunch. And they are constantly rotating in new plants, so the selection is ever changing.

Thanks! And sorry about hijacking the thread. I think that tillandsias are a natural companion plant to grow with orchids, but I rarely see them outside of the kinda generic ones you find at the stores! Time to get researching! Any favorites besides this one?
