Orchids in Fiji and LA customs

[Stefanie]

I'm off to a couple of the Fiji islands (south pacific) in November and I'm looking for information on what the native orchids to Fiji actually are. There are supposed to be some 300 species native to the islands. Does anyone have any information on what I might find.. I'm having trouble locating anything but the fact that they do flower market cut dendrobs.

I have import permits, and I understand that there is a local orchid business on Nadi, but again, I can't find any information, and I would like to plan on bringing back a large shipment, if I could!!

Any information would be appreciated. Also, any information on getting orchids through customs in LA, would be welcome. I have only 3 hours between landing and catching a flight back to the east coast!
