Vendors in Southamerica
 

Dear All,

Once more, it was evident during the latest Members Projects that having a list of nurseries and vendors for each major region would be beneficial for everybody. We have indeed a short list of nurseries for which we know that can be trusted, but this is far for complete.

Therefore, I decided to propose some threads (probably a forum admin or moderator can stick them to the beginning of this section of the forum!?)

The rules are simple:

1. Use one thread per region!
2. Add ONLY vendors for which you have good experience buying from them, or the people you know have godo experience. NOTE: at least 2 or 3 orders should have been done from each vendor!
3. If you add a new vendor, please explain briefly your experience with it.
4. Good vendors do not necessarily need to be cheap! This would depend on many factors, and the list is not intended ONLY for the projects!
5. PLEASE add the link to the website!

Please, DO NOT use this thread for vendors review. We have a whole section of the forum for that.

ONLY add vendors with a brief feedback from your side!!

To start the list. These are vendors from Southamerica, which come to Europe on a regular basis and have good quality plants. They also visit USA and other regions on a regular basis - check their websites or send an e-mail for more information.

Peruflora: contact@peruflora.net unfortunately, their website has not been active for a long time, but you can contact them per email and request the current price list and dates for their visits to your region.

I was in Peru last October for a visit with the Arias family whom I known for almost 25 years. While there I visited two of their nurseries. Manolo came to Florida for Redlands show, so had him bring plants for me. The Phrag. Eumelia Arias arrived with 4 mature, previously bloomed growths and 4 new growths; Andean Tears has about 6-7 growths and the smallest Phrag. Peruflora's Cirila Alca has 4 growths. Also purchased 7 Gongoras which I'd seen and tagged while at the nursery in San Ramon...best imported plants I've ever seen and I've done imports since the 1980's. Pictures of my trip are posted on my photostream golforchid's photosets on Flickr Poesia de Pachamama is the set of orchid photos from the 2011 trip.
