Where can I find cedar or teak vanda baskets
 

Hi all

Is there a place in Ottawa that sells hanging baskets (not plastic) for
vandas? Actually can anyone recommend any place in Ottawa that sells Orchid
supplies? I've been looking on line and there seems to be lots of places in
the states but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for in Canada. I
haven't ordered any Orchids from the states because I was concerned about
getting them across the border. Does anyone have any experience with that?
Thanks a million.

Hi;
I have a local Home Depot that sells Vanda slated hanging baskets. I do
not recall what type of wood. Try Home Depot or Lowes stores.
The Home Depot has orchids and orchid supplies.No experience in over
the border purchases

There is information on importing orchids into Canada on the website for
the Canadian Orchid Congress at http://www.CanadianOrchidCongress.ca/

There seems to be diddly over squatsky WRT to orchids on the byward
market, but then again the goal has been overly focused towards food.
And I got laughed at when I asked if there were any interesting
places (Note I said "interesting", not "more interesting than the US".)

Bedford Orchids has nice phals. He is a Canadian grower.
http://www.bedfordorchids.com/ Also, I think the orchid mall
http://www.orchidmall.com
used to list vendors by country, and Canada was one of the countries
(although it is true that there are many more vendors in the US than
Canada.)

The Canadian Orchid Congress (see below) will have lists of member societies
I know there are one's in Ottowa and Toronto where you can attend a meeting
as ask where those hobbyists get their plants and supplies.

Another Canadian here, who intends to check out the sites some people
posted. Maybe you could find baskets, at least, on eBay. For example
:

The postage from the U.S. is probably cheaper than Canada Post's
rates!!

I try to stock teak whenever possible, as it will last longer, but cedar is
still OK.
