Contact the Santa Cruz Orchid Society, I think they'll have ideas. (Google
search) All I can think of is Mapplethorp Orchids in Capitola, and Rod
McLellan - now owned by Taisuco - in - sheesh - Watsonville. Of course the
crown jewel is Terry Root's Orchid Zone, which usually is closed to the
public. Maybe someone at the SCOS society has an 'in' there.

I'll be in Monterey, CA November 16-22, accompanying DH on a business
trip. I've never been there before. Are there any recommended orchid
retailers in the area? I will have a rental car.


A quick search using google yielded plenty of hits, but you might try
these
first:

The following is the first to comeup, and is an orchid vendor.

The following is the second hit, and I stopped here because if anyone
knows
who the orchid vendors are in Monterey, this OS ought to. perhaps a
quick
phone call, or, if you find their web site, if they have one, email,
might
be useful.

Monterey Bay Orchid Society
Meets 2nd Tuesday at 7:30 pm
