Well, most are by appointment only. White Oak Orchids comes to mind. Maybe
you can go by Golden Gate Orchids - they may be open if a club is taking a
tour, otherwise they are wholesale only. There's OrchidMania, but I have no
idea if they sell out of their greenhouses... I hope Eric Hunt chimes in on
this thread. There's Dan Newman's Hanging Gardens out in Pacifica. If you
have a day and a car there's Gold Country way out in the Sacramento area in
Lincoln. I have no idea how many of these are on the OrchidMall for
directions etc. I know White Oak's contact info can be found in the Diablo
View OS newsletter: http://www.dvos.org Also Dennis Olivas D&D Orchids has
GHs in Half Moon Bay. Again by appointment. I think his contact info is in
the DVOS newsletter. He has some of the late Bartley Schwartz's collection
(Highland Tropicals). Dennis is a great grower and an excellent speaker, if
your club needs a talk. If you wind up near Half Moon Bay there's Barbara's
Fish Shack for some great fish for lunch. Their calamari is good!

Now that the orchid ranch is closed in Livermore where are the orchid
places
in the Bay Area? I might be out there for a day or two with time to
visit.

Good Growing,
