Importing from canada and good shops in ottawa area.
 

It's probably too late to get the paperwork through, but I figured I
would ask as my sister was able to bring back an oncidium in flask from Costa
Rica last year.

I will be in Ottawa next week and was wondering if there were any
interesting orchid shops near (walking and public transit distance)
to the Congress Center and what paperwork nightmare I would need
to go through to bring plants back to the US.

More interesting orchids in Canada than in the USA? Ha-ha-ha... you kill
me Chris. Ha-ha-ha... that's a good one.
Keep up the good work.... you are one funny guy... ha-ha-ha.

I think it's pretty unlikely that you will find any interesting orchid
vendors in Ottawa. You will definitely find the paperwork nightmare you
speak of. Canada has a HUGE public service sector, they live for
paperwork, and Ottawa is the epicenter.

Do yourself a favor and buy some maple syrup at the Byward Market and
shop for orchids back in the USA....where the Canadians get them.

Last time I was in Toronto (speaking at SOOS in May), I picked up some
fantastic ginger marmalade!

My wife doesn't like it, so it's ALL MINE!!!
