Local garden store wanted $65 for a fragent Oncidium! Where can I fragrant orchids cheap on the net?
I went to my local garden shop and saw and smelled a beautiful Oncidium
orchid I loved it but when I queried as to how much it was that replied $65, that pretty much shot down any chance of getting that orchid. But I would like to know where I could get orchids on the net for cheap especially fragrant ones. I also love eBay and have noticed some orchids there should I explore that avenue or stay on the main path? Thanks Chris |

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. -- Cheers Wendy Remove PETERPAN for email reply "The Enigma" wrote in message . com... : I went to my local garden shop and saw and smelled a beautiful Oncidium : orchid I loved it but when I queried as to how much it was that replied $65, : that pretty much shot down any chance of getting that orchid.

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. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
