Default Best Place to Buy Oncidiums?

After some time, and buying a few different types of orchids (in pairs, you know in case one was a dud) I have decided oncidium types work best for me. I've heard of vendors who specialize phals or paphs or catts. Are there any that specialize in oncidiums? Who would you recommend?

I currently have onc. Heaven Scent and bllra. Patricia McCully and I'm looking to keep new additions fairly compact. So if anyone has suggestions for my wish list that would also be appreciated

Thanks!


I didn't know if this should go in the vendor forum or the oncidium forum, so please move if it is appropriate.

I got a couple of my oncidiums at Big Oaks orchids. They are online or you can call them. There is a reputable grower in Easton,CT ... J&L Orchids you can drive and visit the farm. They have a home made luch if you attend one of their speakers/meetings.

A charming show at a good central location. J&L offers a 10% discount for pre-orders delivered to the show.

I've bought several oncidiums from Norman's Orchids at orchids.com. They are very reliable, have nice plants and ship quickly.

Tucker is right...Norman's delivers fast and they only sell blooming size or in spike plants...a bit pricy but you are assured of a specimen not a seedling...

Thanks! I love going to J&L's but wasn't sure if there was anywhere else I should be looking too.

Woodland Orchids carries a nice selection of Oncidiinae hybrids and species. Andy's has a number of unusual and spectacular species, though some are harder to grow than the hybrids tend to be.
