I haven't made an order yet, and the search function for OB has never worked for me. Has anyone dealt with this nursery? TIA!

I have not, but it my understanding is that it is a top-notch operation with excellent plants.

That used to be Owens Orchids.

Ray has answered your question directly, but I can offer a tip for searching the forum (which I prefer because it works better!). In your search engine, first type your query, then instruct it to search within a specific website by using site: after it.

So you would type:
Looking Glass Orchids site:.orchidboard.com (note that the dot after www is included)

Oooh that's sneaky! Thanks for that Camille, it's been rather frustrating. When I click on the search icon the field pops up just fine, but when I click on the field to start typing the whole thing just disappears. Thanks again!

I have that problem when I'm on my phone or tablet, but not on my computer. Luckily I use my computer 80% of the time. Site: has become my go to method for searching, and not just on orchidboard!

That's it, I use my phone 100% of the time. Thanks again!
