How to Dispose of a Large Number of Orchids

[Lilavati]

My grandmother has a lot of 'chids, approximately 150. She is very ill, and so, the family has begun to consider what to do with the plants upon her death. Obviously, some of them will go to family members, including myself. However, since most of the family lives far from CA, where the orchids are located, only a few will probably be handed out to the family. For example, I'll only consider those with tags, and probably only a few of those.

Many of these plants are NOIDS. The ones I have seen are heathy and are boarded with a professional when not in bloom.

My idea was to dontate them to the San Diego orchid society. Does anyone have other ideas? We don't much care about getting money for them, just getting them good homes, and no one has a lot of time to dedicate to this process.

Notably, my grandmother is ill, but still very much alive, so no offers to take them off my hands! This is just planning for the future. If we tried to take them from her now, she'd probably leap out of bed and tear us apart with her bare hands.
