Urgent! Where can I find bulk cut orchids
Hello there! Could anyone tell me where to mail order bulk orchids at reasonable price? We live on the east coast near Washington DC and Richmond area. My brother is getting married the second week of October. I am planning to provide flower arrangements for the reception. The bride's heart is set on orchids. I have been searching for both local and internet, but came out empty. Actually, I found one in Bangkok, but don't want to have to deal with time uncertainty. Thnaks, packat |

Hello there!
Could anyone tell me where to mail order bulk orchids at reasonable price? We live on the east coast near Washington DC and Richmond area. My brother is getting married the second week of October. I am planning to provide flower arrangements for the reception. The bride's heart is set on orchids. I have been searching for both local and internet, but came out empty. Actually, I found one in Bangkok, but don't want to have to deal with time uncertainty. Thnaks, packat I did some digging online and could not find a whole lot- but did some places in Asia that look pretty solid (as in well organized websites which is the most assurance I can offer.) That said, the stems are not cheap. Orchidsbyair.com has some nice selections, but a package of 30-48 stems will be $118 delivered to your door. Not prohibitive perhaps, but still that is almost $3 each for some varieties. What kind of orchids do you need? How many do you need? If you need 100-200 stems or less, then I would suggest contacting Carmela Orchids or any major continential US nursery (Hausermanns, RF Orchds) that does a large volume business. Such a company would have the resources to fill that request and hopefully they would be willing to help you out with a special request. Good luck and hope this helps. Tom. Take care, Tom. PS- Try Stewart's too, and Yamamoto Dendrobiums. All of the ones I have suggested have websites, or you can find contact info at the AOS Home page list of nurseries. |

There isn't a flower market in the DC area? Sometimes these are closed to
the general public and you have to go through someone with a resale number - so if you have any friends with one of those you can get in. Sometimes they are open (like the one here in San Francisco) K Barrett "PacKat" wrote in message newsuo_c.2716$5Y6.1339@trnddc07... Hello there!
