Default favorite orchid related URLs?

I am sure all of us have our favorite orchid-related Web sites. Care to
share yours? I assume that many of us are familiar with many such sites,
however I assume that there are some sites that you know that I don't, and I
would wish I knew, if only I knew that I should know ....

Here are a few of mine (just to start out the thread, though I assume most
of you already know these):
http://www.orchidlady.com
http://www.orchidspecies.com
http://orchidweb.org/orchids/ -- especially the Orchids A-Z part
http://www.orchids.com/ -- I must admit that I have never bought anything
from this site yet, but I love going there from time since I think it is the
best Web site for browsing through the catalogue and putting everything that
appeals in the shopping cart, and thinking how much money I can save by not
buying everything that I put in the cart :-)
http://www.bedfordorchids.com/ -- I especially enjoyed some of the
informational articles such as the ones on Yellow Phalaenopsis Breeding

Suggested Rules for this game:
(1) Try not to be too shameless, avoid posting your own site (if someone
else posted your site, wouldn't that be better)
(2) A site isn't a favorite if you have been there only once and don't
intend to go back over and over again
(3) There is no rule 3. :-)
(3a) If you want to ignore these rules, I can't stop you. I am letting go of
the sole proprietorship over this thread as soon as I hit the Send button.
It's going to lead to tangents, isn't it? I can see it already: from
'favorite sites' to 'HTML coding' to 'code of conduct' to 'conductors' to
'runaway trains' to 'model trains' to 'training supermodels'. Noooooo!

Best,
Joanna

Molli,
You are right about Al's. I even debated with myself whether to list his
site, but myself pointed out to me that I had mentioned Al in so many
threads already that it would almost seem suspicious (no, Al is not paying
me anything) + being lucky enough to live close to him, I prefer his
greenhouse to his Web site (yes, I know I should stop rubbing that in for
all of you who are jealous of that). Thanks for the bottom three URLs, they
are new to me, I go explore them now.

These are my top 6 for internet shopping.

Joanna, Andy's does mostly mounted plants, but the customer service is
exceptional. They even call you at home a week later to make sure you are
happy! Alan Koch runs Gold Country, and wow..what a personality! His love
for orchids really comes through if you ever have a chance to talk to him at
a show. And Greg Butler of Oak Hill is another charmer. All three vendors
are very willing to answer questions, no matter how dumb (trust me, some of
mine ARE dumb) and will take as much time as needed with you, whether at a
show, on the phone or in email.

Hugs,

Well since you swiped Ladyslipper -
How about www.phragweb.info This is the place so research Phrags.
When he can get the pix, Rob Zuiderwijk posts not only the
details about a species or hybrid, but also several photos.

No one had the RHS site - For those with out Wildcatt or the joy
of researching one hybrid at a time.
http://www.rhs.org.uk/research/registration_orchids.asp
This does have the advantage of the use of 1/2 a name will pull
up the hybrid. For instance 'van' would pull the word advantage
as well as any word ending or starting with van. It can be
useful.

http://www.ecuagenera.com/ If you ever find that they are going
to be in your area. They will bring an order up for you.
Good plants, good people.

http://www.orchidsbyhausermann.com/
Make sure you have the ENTIRE address, without the 'Orchids by'
is not an orchid site! This is the traditional midwest "orchid
range" In Chicago (metro) and with something like 4 acres under
glass.

http://www.hoosierorchid.com/
Out of Indiana - Conservation and species preservation #1.
Lovely collection of Angraecoids.

Just a touch of self promotion: - since I am not the web master.
