Hi! I'm a newbie in this site...I was wondering if where can I buy orchid minis (ie rodrettias or other comparettia hybrids). I really like them coz sizewise they don't take quite a lot of space and the colors they produce are brilliant. Hopefully you could help me out guys and gals. Thanks!

Welcome to OB!

I am sure someone from your side of the pond will answer your question.

Hello and welcome!
- and ditto what Ted said - hopefully someone will be able to advise on where you can find the plants you are looking for

Andy's, J & L and Oak Hill are the best sources - many other dealers carry some minis.

Sorry, didn't see in your info that you were from the UK - someone else will have to help you.

Welcome to Orchid Board.

I'm afraid I don't know specifically where to get Mini's, most of my orchids are quite large. I bought a couple of mini's a few weeks back at a show from Plested Orchids. They had a lot of tiny orchids, both potted and mounted. Never bought from them online though, only the two I got at a show.

I generally buy online from Burnham Nursary or David Stead. It may be worth seeing if either of them have the Mini's you are looking for, they are good places to buy from in general.

Forgot about them, they have some nice stuff on their site although I've never bought from them I've often been tempted.

Hi! I've managed to get some good websites in Germany to get some of these plants. I've ordered some Comparettias and Rodriguezias but because of the weather might be of a big challenge when to deliver...I'm pleased... Next on my list is Oncidium Bailarina Mulata....now where can I get these??? Any suggestions anybody???
