Experience with EFG Orchids?

[greenbean]

Hi everyone, has anyone heard of a vendor called EFG Orchids near Chicago, IL? They have a website, but it seems to be on the fritz and sometimes that can be a red flag. Anyone have experience with them?

I've been searching for a source for Miltoniopsis Echo Bay 'Midnight Tears' for years, and the only one I have found is from Orchids in our Tropics, a Canadian company that does ship to the US, but they have a wait list for it.

EFG Orchids has Echo Bay for sale for $7.50 in 2.5" pots. Seems too good to be true so I am really hoping someone has heard of them.

Thanks in advance!

They haven't been near Chicago for a long time... 10 years maybe? They are in Florida now. I think you've found an old web site. Try this one

EFG Orchids, orchids for hobby and commercial growers - Welcome

But, if you did find an old website, my guess is they don't have that plant any more. I recommend them anyway, good people.

Darn! Looks like they've really downsized their retail end. No more Echo Bay.

Thanks for the info, Rob.

Red Miltonia Unbloomed Give this a try.

I wanted this one too and Orchids In Our Tropics told me they didn't have it at all!

I came across that site too, Silken. Not sure I like the look of it. I hope that the plant pictured is Augres Trinity and not what they are selling as Echo Bay. Thanks though!

Oh, too bad! With the web, some things aren't what they say!

Either call or email them. Last time I ordered from him he said the website is horribly out of date.
