Masdie seller in Canada?
 

:hello I was wondering if anyone knows of a good quality Masdie vendor in Canada that has high quality plants for a decent price that you have ordered from before and trust enough to recommend. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be awesome! :biggrin:

I am not a member of our orchid society but sometimes go on their website and noticed on the Plant Sales page here:
Plant sales
There is a member selling plants that specializes in masdies and draculas.
I don't know if this info is of any value for you, just thought I would mention it.

I picked mine up at an orchid show, but one possibilty is if you look up your nearest orchid club and ask them if they have a grower. I did that for my vandas.

Thanks you two. I found a person from the Ottowa Orchid Society that I e-mailed, so now to wait!

Hey Cody just noticed this today. I usually buy my orchids at the orchid shows and pre-order from Ecuagenera (which attend most larger shows). They have many neat species and at a fraction of the price you would pay here in Canada.

Kalapana Tropicals

they can ship into canada...


only one I know of in canada is Cloud's Orchids


you get one from kalapana and everything else out there will look weak and wimpy ;)...


I do not work for kalapana they just have great plants and I like to pass that on

If you order from Kalapana, won't you have to pay for a certificate? That can be pretty expensive. Cloud's orchids are good. I used to buy from them when we lived in Ontario.

Marsh Hollow Orchids has and sells the best Masdes and other plants I've ever seen. Our club went to the nursery in June and I bought several Lycastes and a few other plants. Mario (the owner) has won awards at pretty much any orchid show that I've attended. Check out his website, beautiful plants. Good luck.

I think that they should be of the finest quality, for what he charges. I have paid $10 to $15 at shows, for nice ones. $35 to $50 seems expensive for masde, but I suppose it depends on how hard it is to find the one you want.

Yes, very good quality healthy plants, maybe it's location as well, because I've never seen masde's for 10 or 15$ in Ontario. (Not sure where you live Vanda Lover) Clouds may also have masdies, however very limited selection that I've seen anyways and they'd be similar in price to Mario.

I'm on vancouver Island, but I used to live in Ontario. I don't remember them being that expensive there, but I could be wrong. Maybe I just got a good deal both in Ontario and here. I have a nice healthy one that I bought at a show in the spring, for $10

Hi Cody, I saw that ecuagenera is coming to he foothills orchid show in October. You may want to check them out as they have huge selection of masdies. then pick it up at the show.

I put my order in 2 weeks ago. I'll be going to Calgary to pick them up. It would be nice to meet some of the Orchid Board members.

Awwww!!! :( :( :( I SOO wish I could go there, do you know the dates? I do know that some people from my OS, and maybe even one of them that are here on the OB might be going, but due to me being in school, I don't think I would be able to get it off, but even if my parents even gave notion to the idea, I would barely have enough money for orchids, yet alone food, and stuff (my cousin does live in Calgary), but I still don't have a clue how I would get to Calgary Awww, now that you mentioned it, it is going to kill me knowing that I can't go! I feel like I am going to cry :bua: :bua: :bua:! I have never been to an orchid show like that before! Oh well, I am not going to be a Debby Downer. I hope whoever goes has a BLAST, and make sure to take LOTS of pictures!

You still have till Sept 28th to pre-order with Ecuagenera. Also I think they will ship plants out from Calgary to you if you order with them, just send them an email.

Here is the link the the OS website thats hosting the show.

Foothills Orchid Society, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I have sent a bunch of inquiries to a number of vendors and if one replies that have the paph that I am looking for. I am gonna drive there.

Lucky! There are some people from my OS that are going, so I think we might do some group pre-ordering.

Do they have a list? I got a list from one Chinghua orchids.

Eastern canada orchid society has show on Oct 22/23 in Montreal. I was checking the list of vendors and noticed that these guys from USA have huge selection of masdies and draculas:

Maybe they can send plants to you from within Canada too.

Hi orchideya, is Sam Tsui speaking in your society?

I am not a member of any society, so wouldn't know about that, sorry.
I just keep an eye on the shows within reasonable drive time because it is the only way to buy nice orchids "in person". We don't have many nurseries around here.

Yeah that is true. Well Thanks anyways!
