Ordering orchids online - Orchid Board

Andrea · #1 04-13-2008, 06:01 PM

Hi,

I am interested in ordering orchids online. I am still a beginner and I am interested in phals. paphs. and phrags. I was wondering if someone could recommend some online sites that they have had positive experiences with. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrea

Try the orchidmall as a starting point. It has the majority of online orchid vendors in one stop:
The Orchid Mall - Everything in Orchids

You can also check reviews of many nurseries in this link here:

Andrea I have ordered many orchids from Carter and Holmes and I have not been dissapointed.

Give'm a try

Have you check out Vendor Feedback Forum threads? -

Those list the member's experiences with orchid vendors

Orchid Board Classifieds! The Spring Sale is kicking and there are lots of great plants from fellow OB members.

Also, even though there are LOTS of good vendors, these have always been good to me (and they all have a "on sale" section):

Oak Hill
Carter and Holmes
Orchids by Hauserman

If you're into species orchids you can't go wrong with Andy's Orchids.

I haven't heard anyone mention J & L Orchids out of Conn. They specialize in mini's. I haven't ordered online from them, but they came to a Maine Orchid Meeting talking about mini's and I bought a couple from them and they were really nice plants. Anyone else order from them?
Andy's Orchids is my all time favorite, Paul! You got that right about them!
So many to choose from, so little time!
