Poll Question: Vendors
Default Poll Question: Vendors

I'd like to do a little poll regarding everyone's favorite vendors. I'm doing this to get a feel for which vendors would motivate you to go to a show. So if there is/are some vendor(s) out there that you'd love to see at a show please let me know! Feel free to list as many vendors as you'd like. If you could please separate them into the two categories below. Thanks for any and all input!

Who are the most desirable or favorite US vendors?

Who are the most desirable or favorite International vendors?

US vendors I get excited about, in my limited show experience

Andy's
H&R (I met Roy Tokunaga today!)
Gold Country Orchids
Seed Engei
Golden Gate Orchids ( I read that Tom Perlite has retired ... ? So I don't know what their status is)

I know that these sellers always have orchids good for my climate

All vendors or vendors that do shows?

Additional to the previously mentioned.
Domestic:
Marni Turkel (maybe technically not a vendor anymore)

International:
Ten Shin Gardens-Taiwan
Ooi Leng Sun (aaorchids.com)-Malaysia
Ecuagenera

All mentioned have really different and diverse genera.

My criteria are odd botanical species, and willingness to look for specific plants.
US: Andy's, Andy's, Andy's, Botanica, Hanging Garden
Intl.: aaorchids, phrao, Ten Shin Gardens, Peruflora, Holger Perner.

Have gotten select plants from many others, but those are some repeat sources.

Because I live in South Florida, some of my favorite vendors are local and wouldn't be of any interest to anyone unless they live in this area. I grow mostly large cattleyas and a few vandas. Here are some of my favorite vendors who sell nationally.

Carmela Orchids
Kawamoto Orchids
Carter and Holmes (mostly seedlings)
Sunset Valley Orchids (Fred Clarke)
RF Orchids (Vandas)
Odom's Orchids
