Hi Chris, The local garden shops are always higher priced.
There is a "fragant only" orchid website out there.
Your best bet is to get a list of them & then search the internet for deals.
If you have the time & patience, find an orchid society in your area &
visit,
they have raffles & sales & very nice knowledgable people that grow in your
area.
Also if there are any shows on, there are always bargains.
I have auctioned for plants, you only get deals some of the time.


Let me add that some species are fragrant and not all members of
the species have the same intensity of fragrance. So if that is
your driving need, you need to smell the plant your buying. On
the other hand all Onc. Twinkle, that I have seen are fragrant.
Also all Onc Sharry Baby smell like chocolate to some and
something else to a few. Brassavola nodosa is sweet at night (in
the dark only). Zygopetalums and Rhynchostylis are normally
fragrant. What you like to smell, may not be what I can live
with. Make sure first. Some of these are very heavy scents.
