At a locally owned nursery.
At a big box store.
From various online vendors.
From orchid shows.
Phone orders that are shipped to me.
I buy most of my orchids using all the above options!
I don’t buy…I propagate and grow my own.
Other…please explain in the thread.

I know this is an old survey but it still has legs......
I have found a couple of outstanding on-line sellers I buy from. (Feel free to PM me if you want to know the best one here in the US so far!) I also use the large auction site. I go to my local high end nursery and the local orchid nursery. And of course, my grocery store, who I blame for starting me down the road to addiction!
So I see a lot of orchid lovers order online; anyone willing to share their favorite place to order online. I have looked at several places and the photo's are amazing, and they offer orchids in spike, or soon to bloom. Anyone care to offer suggestions?
Is your Private Messaging turned on?
That is how we need to communicate this type of info.
I finally found it and turned it on, sorry about that.

I live in the UK and collecting orchids if your taste in orchids extends paste the generic phals and other usual garden centre orchids is very limiting, also I find that many garden centers in the UK apart from not having much variety are also over priced for example i just saw a few generic looking purple flowered vanda's for £80 each in a vase! thats like $100 for a common vanda, so buying online is really the only option in the Uk if you want a real collection
