Where can i buy orchids in India ?
 

Hi all ,

where and how can i buy orchids in india ...i have a few cymbidiums ..infact about 10 of them ..i am keen to diversify into Paphiopdilums..anyone ?.i tried orchids asia..but they dont respond and their telenumbers are incorrect ..any help ?

you should join your local orchid club...maybe trade plants or they can direct you to a farm where you can order from...they usually sell orchids on the market place on the street...you just have to chance upon them(but these plants are taken from the wild and you dont know if they have bugs and virus.

i already have a few cymbidiums and am now intending to diversify ...i am looking for paphs ..in india ..let see ...if u know any members in india ..do let me know ..thanx

what is your grow zone? what city in India are you from?
I am in the USA...it was just a hypothetical suggestion...but when I was on a holiday 2 yrs ago; I was mainly with a friend in Delhi...and didnt have a chance to go anywhere. Thats where I got to observe the market environment.
Try google:
I found...Bina Nursery, Orchids India, Kairali orchids, Star Orchids, Jeeva Orchids, Madaparambil Orchids ,Hafi Orchids...you can find their address and phone them ...

i have been looking for orchid nurseries but havent found any responsive ones ..do u have the contacts of these nurseries you have named ?

okay...youre the one from Delhi, India and I was just a visitor from New York...you should get out more often...heh

Khan Market is a small, U-shaped, well established market that's one of Delhi's classiest. Bargain hunters are likely to be disappointed at this market. It's got a loyal following who go there to shop at its branded outlets. One of the best things about this market is its interesting book shops. It's also got some excellent tailors who will make you a suit in less than a week. For Ayurvedic food, medicine, garden plants and skin care check out Biotique, and Khadi. Hidden away, you'll find some great lounges to relax in, many with balconies overlooking the street.
•Location: South New Delhi, not far from India Gate.
•Opening Hours: Daily except Sundays.

i am not from delhi ..but did u see Paphopedilum orchids there ?.. where did u spot them ...i will spend some tiem there ..

I am sorry but it was two years ago...a lot would have changed by then...this is a street market I am talking about...I dont know if that street market is still there
