I buy on eBay, from Norman's Orchids, Home Depot, owe's, and local grocery
stores. I have gotten some very nice plants from all these. If you buy
from Lowe's and Home Depot they have a 1 year guarantee, just keep the
reciept and take the plant back if it dies. Mostly just checking the plant
over and making sure it looks healthy and you'll get some nice plants. On
eBay I don't buy from anyone with less that 98% positive feedback.

Hi,

I've got a couple of beginner's books for keeping orchids and want to get
some. I've read that Lowe's, Home Depot and the like carry extremely
inferior orchids. This may be too much but is it possible to buy a decent
orchid for $20 or less? I'm not sure where to look for them. I live in
the oklahoma city, ok area. Also, any help on what to look for in an
orchid would be great.

Thanks
